The Ball at Your Feet

After the match with Everton, the general trend of this year's Premier League has basically come out. Arsenal drew with Chelsea at home and failed to win this crucial match. Now Chelsea have one more game and are six points ahead of Arsenal. With their demonstrated strength, Arsenal wants to chase points in the next game. Difficult.

Mourinho triumphantly expressed his views after the game, "We now have the advantage of leading the points, and then we can comfortably welcome two home games. Remind you, two and a half years in Porto Here, I’ve never lost an important game, whether it’s against Benfica or Sporting Lisbon."

However, Wenger at the press conference immediately reminded him that he just lost the Portuguese Cup final last year, and it was Benfica led by Camacho who defeated him.

Regarding Mourinho’s arrogance, Wenger also dismissed it, "What great results, were they 17th in the league last year? Second in the league and the semi-finals of the Champions League, they already have a good foundation. , Now that we have taken so much money, is it fair to say that there is no improvement? And we Arsenal, spending money is at the same level as Newcastle and Tottenham. Our championship is really difficult. Unlike them, we have brains and no You have to be a little creative with money."

Mourinho also retorted on the spot, "Henry doesn't spend money? Is Vieira on loan? Is Reyes a Christmas gift from Seville? Didn't Arsenal also spend a lot of money? "

But Mourinho still looked down on the reporters too much. The reporters immediately reminded him that Wenger only spent 95 million pounds in eight years, and he earned 86 million pounds back from selling people, and the total cost of eight years was only 9 million pounds. , And Chelsea, not counting the 120 million investment last year, and the previous investment of Maigara, Lampard and others, this year alone, Chelsea spent 70 million pounds. Compared with Chelsea, Wenger is definitely a big money-saving expert.

Mourinho still found a reason for being exposed by the reporters. "He has taken over a team for seven years, and I have only taken over for seven months. Of course, the issue of spending money cannot be compared."

The two sides fought fiercely, but everyone in Liverpool did not care much. Anyway, with Liverpool's points gap, it is impossible to catch up with others. The coaches are fighting because of the championship. Liverpool and Manchester United are not capable of winning the championship, so naturally they will not talk nonsense with them.

"If we can catch up at any time, it's fine to 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."

This question is also something that everyone is interested in-they have also learned a little about Benitez's character. Although this man is very capable in tactics, he is very depressed when he speaks and does things. It is definitely very interesting to watch him bicker. Things.

"I said everyone should stop dreaming, okay? What are you thinking about winning the championship? If we lose again, maybe even the third place result will be lost. If we lose two games, Manchester United will catch up. This is chasing and biting. The ability is really strong."

Hypia interrupted everyone's lust, and the game is more important for Liverpool now.

By midweek, Liverpool also ushered in Portsmouth's make-up match.

This game made up for the third round Liverpool missed because of the Champions League play-offs.

The game itself is not too difficult, after all, Portsmouth is not a strong team. And Garcia is back, and this game is a lot easier to play. In the first half, the corner kick from Zhao Yaning was passed by Garcia to Alonso. Alonso pushed the empty goal and broke the net. In the second half, Gerrard hit the crossbar and bounced into the net. , Once again expanded the score.

Although in the final stage of the game, Portsmouth pulled a goal back, but this did not hurt the overall situation. Liverpool won another victory and stabilized their third place.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning ushered in a bad news: after this game, news came from the French side: Shepchenko's election as European Footballer is almost fixed.

Although Zhao Yaning had the triple crown in his hand and won the honor of Shepchenko, Shepchenko was better known for his reputation and the club’s support was even greater. After all, in 1999 and 2000, he was already two golden balls. In the first three, he had accumulated enough fame and honor, but he lacked an opportunity. This year, everyone played very sluggish. Although Zhao Yaning had this strong play, he was too young and had no prestige. Compared with the veteran players, they were not eye-catching enough. Shepchenko won this honor this year, although some can not convince the public, but it is not abrupt.

And the Milan club has spared no effort in praising him. Berlusconi even relied on his identity as a media tycoon to call the editor-in-chief of French football Ernault. On the day of the awards ceremony, he also dispatched his own private plane to send Shepchenko to receive the award. It is obvious that a special plane needs to be made from Milan to Paris for such a short distance.

As for the propaganda of the Italian media, no effort was spared: in their propaganda, every goal Sheva brought to Milan brought three points, and he was the most critical key man. Sheva in the national team is his own strength to lead the national team forward in the world preliminaries, without him, Ukraine is nothing. Even Sheva’s marriage this year was used as a publicity by them: Is it too much to give such a star a Golden Globe as a wedding gift? Not too much!

At this time, Zhao Yaning also left England and went to France to attend the awards ceremony. It's just that he is destined not to win the award, and to be a supporting role, he still has a lot of lumps in his heart.

Sure enough, at the award ceremony, Shepchenko surpassed Zhao Yaning's 150 points with a score of 165 points, and won the Golden Globe Award with a slight advantage. Although Zhao Yaning had enough honor, he was still only second.

When Shepchenko was interviewed, he was also extremely excited, but he still did not forget to say a few words. On the one hand, he demonstrated his uncontroversial honor. On the other hand, he was also thankful to the Milan club. , 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 get the award."

Of course, he is extremely proud of it now. As for Zhao Yaning, who ranked second in points, he lost with 150 points. It can be said that he only lost a little bit. The editor-in-chief of "Team Daily" Ernault explained his attitude towards Zhao Yaning in one sentence, "He is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future. Don't rush for a while."

"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 have very opinions. Henry had already missed the Golden Globe Award for several years because of his youth. If Zhao Yaning was also put on hold for this reason, at his age, it would be possible to wait for another seven or eight years-Sheva was 28 this year. With the Golden Globe Award, how old is European football going to make Zhao Yaning wait?

"It doesn't matter. I didn't think I could get it this year." Back in the locker room, Zhao Yaning calmed down his angry teammates. "Football is weak. The club is too small. In the year of the competition, France still has another one. Henry divides the votes, I have all the disadvantages, how can I be elected?"

"But if you are not elected this year, your chances will be very slim in the future." Gerrard said to him, "It's a pity for you. If you are from England, the Golden Globe Award will be set."

"If I am from England, how can I go to Monaco? The opportunity is created by people, not from the sky. I can have this opportunity. Is it because I can't find it? If I want to win a prize, I can fight it later. "Zhao Yaning replied, "And the first time it was second in the Golden Globes, what else do you want? Just come back if you have a chance in the future."

"But... how can you be confident that you won't have any trouble?" Gerrard was a little puzzled.

"I still have this confidence." Zhao Yaning smiled, "Forget it, don't talk about it, I have to call Henry, I divided his vote, he didn't even make the top three, I have to Apologize."

Although this is not Zhao Yaning's fault, Zhao Yaning thinks it is better to say something. After all, this kind of thing will always get a bump if you don't explain it.

In this year's Golden Globe Awards, Sheva ranked first, Zhao Yaning ranked second, and Ronaldinho took the third place. Although Henry's performance in the club is no less than Sheva, but because of the poor performance of the national team, he was pulled alive. Sheva’s Ukrainian national team was not considered Sheva’s fault because it failed to play in the European Cup.

In addition to the two of them, the Premier League also ranked three players from Manchester United on the Ballon d'Or. Rooney is eighth, Ruud van Nistelrooy is tenth, and Ronaldinho is twelfth. However, the rankings of the three of them all have a sense of reputation greater than performance. Rooney relied on the outstanding performance of the European Cup and the enthusiasm of the British media, Van Nistelrooy relied on the accumulation of fame, and Ronaldinho benefited from his genius status and his performance in the European Cup. 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 one person who has entered the 25-man squad, and one person is Baroche. He and Ronaldinho are also 11 points ~www.ltnovel.com~ ranked 12th.

The two Chelsea players, Drogba and Lampard, are both ranked 17th. Lampard relied on his performance in the Champions League, while Drogba relied on his performance in the UEFA Cup in Marseille. Although the English media has repeatedly called Drogba a stupid big man and a parallel importer, he is a European man. Eyes are not blind, they understand, this Chelsea, who is a truly capable player.

In last year's Monaco lineup, in addition to Zhao Yaning, Morientes, Lampard and Drogba were 17th, and Giuly was 24th.

The small team is still despised after all.

After that, naturally many English media who heard the news came to interview Zhao Yaning. But Zhao Yaning's answer to this is very consistent, "I think Sheva deserves this honor. Moreover, even a player such as Henry has never won a Golden Globe Award, why should I be worried?"

"What you said is really good. You put all the pressure on Henry." Privately, Gerrard admired it.

"I didn't push the matter to him, but I really think so." Zhao Yaning replied, "Although I have an honorary advantage for this year's Golden Globe Awards, in terms of strength, I am not better than Sheva. I won. , The same can’t convince the public. All of us have no absolute advantage in strength. In that case, I have nothing to say about seniority. After all, the media is right. He is 28 and I am 20. This is the situation. It seems that I still 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 will have one day to get it. And I Believe that I want to take it, so that everyone has nothing to say, there must be no dispute, and it must be deserved.
