ball at foot

After the game against Everton, the general trend of the Premier League this year has basically come out.Arsenal drew with Chelsea at home and failed to win this crucial game. Now Chelsea have played one more game and are six points ahead of Arsenal. With the strength they have shown, it is very difficult for Arsenal to chase points in the following games. Difficult.

Mourinho expressed his opinion triumphantly after the game, "We now have the lead in points, and then we can usher in two home games comfortably. To remind you, the two and a half years in Porto I've never lost a big game, not 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.

As for Mourinho's arrogance, Wenger also dismissed it, "What a great achievement, were they 17th in the league last year? Second in the league and semi-finals of the Champions League, they already have a good foundation , Now that we have taken so much money, is it reasonable to make no progress? And our Arsenal spends money at the same level as Newcastle and Tottenham. Our championship is really hard. Unlike them, we have brains and no You have to be a little creative with money."

Mourinho also retorted on the spot, "Didn't Henry spend money? Did Vieira come on loan? Could Reyes be a Christmas gift from Sevilla? Didn't Arsenal also spend a lot of money? "[

But Mourinho still underestimated the reporters. The reporters immediately reminded him that Wenger only spent 9500 million pounds in eight years, and he earned back 8600 million pounds by selling people. The total cost in eight years was only 900 million pounds. , and Chelsea, not counting last year's 2000 million investment, and the previous investment in Gallas, Lampard and others, this year alone, Chelsea spent 7000 million pounds.Compared with Chelsea, Wenger is definitely a big connoisseur of saving money.

Regarding being exposed by the reporters, Mourinho still found a reason, "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 verbal battle between the two sides was fierce, but the people far away in Liverpool didn't care much.Anyway, with Liverpool's point gap, it is impossible to catch up with them.The coaches are arguing because they are competing for the championship. Liverpool and Manchester United are not capable of winning the championship now, so naturally they don't want to talk nonsense with them.

"If only we could catch up and see what our coach has to say." In the locker room, everyone joked privately, "I really want to know what it's like for our coach to bicker."

This question is also of interest to everyone—they have learned a little bit about Benitez's character. Although this man is very capable tactically, he makes people feel depressed when he talks and does things. It is definitely very frustrating to see him bickering. interesting thing.

"I said everyone stop dreaming, okay? What are you thinking about winning the championship? If we continue to lose, maybe we will lose the No.3 result. After two games without victories, Manchester United will catch up. This is chasing and biting." The ability is really strong."

Hyypia interrupted everyone's intentions. For Liverpool now, the game is more important.

In the middle of the week, Liverpool also ushered in a make-up match for Portsmouth.

This game made up for the game Liverpool missed in the third round due to the Champions League play-offs.

There is nothing too difficult in the game itself, after all, Portsmouth is not a strong team.And Garcia is back, this game is much easier to play.In the first half, Zhao Yaning's corner kick was passed to Alonso by Garcia. Alonso shot an empty goal and scored the net. Expanded the score.

Although in the final stage of the game, Portsmouth pulled back a goal, but this also hurt the overall situation.Liverpool once again won a victory, stabilizing their No.3 results.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning ushered in a bad news: after this game, news also came from France: Shevchenko's election as the European Footballer of the Year is almost settled.

Although Zhao Yaning has the Triple Crown in his hands and beat Shevchenko in honor, Shevchenko has a better reputation and greater support from the club. After all, in 99 and 2000, he has already won two Golden Globes For the top three, his fame and honor have already accumulated enough, but he lacks an opportunity.But this year, everyone's performance was sluggish. Although Zhao Yaning had this strong performance, he was too young and had no reputation. Compared with veteran stars, he was not eye-catching enough.Shevchenko won this honor this year. Although it is somewhat unconvincing, it is not abrupt.

And the Milan club spared no effort in their praise.Berlusconi even relied on his status as a media tycoon to call the editor-in-chief of French football Erno, and on the day of the awards ceremony, he dispatched his own private plane and sent someone to send Shevchenko to receive the award—— It is obvious that it is necessary to take a special flight from Milan to Paris for such a small distance, which is obviously for the purpose of creating momentum.

As for the Italian media's propaganda, they spared no effort: in their propaganda, every goal of Sheva brought three points to Milan, and he is the most crucial Mr. Key.In the national team, Sheva alone led the national team to the world preliminaries. Without him, Ukraine is nothing.Even Sheva's marriage this year was regarded as 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 doomed not to win an award, and he still has a lot of pimples in his heart to play a supporting role for others.

Sure enough, at the awards ceremony, Shevchenko scored 165 points, surpassing Zhao Yaning's 150 points, and won the Golden Globe with a slight advantage.Although Zhao Yaning has enough honors, he is still only No.2.

When Shevchenko was interviewed, he also seemed extremely excited, but he still did not forget to say a few words. On the one hand, he highlighted the controversy over his honor, and on the other hand, he also thanked the Milan club. "In the past, I have always been given enough attention because I am Ukrainian. But now, the Milan club has given me enough stage to be able to win awards."

Of course he is extremely proud now. As for Zhao Yaning, who ranked second in points, he lost by 150 points, so it can be said that he only lost a little bit.

"The so-called thing, I didn't expect to get it this year." Back in the locker room, Zhao Yaning comforted his aggrieved teammates. Henry divided the votes, and I have all the disadvantages, how could 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, you will definitely win the Golden Globe."

"If I'm from England, how can I go to Monaco? Opportunities are created by people, not from the sky. I can have this opportunity, can it be picked? If I want to win the prize, I will work hard later. Zhao Yaning replied, "And the first time is the Golden Globe Award, what else do you want? I will come again when I have a chance in the future."

"But... how do you have the confidence that you won't encounter any trouble?" Gerald was a little puzzled.

"I still have this confidence." Zhao Yaning smiled. Apologize."

Although this was not Zhao Yaning’s fault, Zhao Yaning felt that it was 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 Ronaldinho took the third.Although Henry performed as well as Sheva at the club, he was pulled down alive because of the poor performance of the national team.And because Sheva's Ukrainian national team failed to play in the European Cup, it was considered not Sheva's fault.

In addition to the two of them, there are three players from Manchester United who are ranked in the Golden Globe Awards in the Premier League.Rooney is eighth, Ruud van Nistelrooy is tenth, Ronaldinho No.12.However, the rankings of the three of them all meant that their fame was greater than their performance.Rooney relied on his outstanding performance in the European Cup and the enthusiasm of the British media, Ruud van Nistelrooy relied on his accumulation of fame, and Ronaldinho benefited from his status as a genius 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, one of the 25-man roster is Baros.He and Ronaldinho also have 11 points, ranking [-]th.

Chelsea's two players, Didier Drogba and Lampard, are both ranked No.17.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, the eyes of all Europeans are not good. Blind, they understand, who is the truly capable player in this Chelsea team.

In last year's Monaco lineup, apart from Zhao Yaning, Morientes, Lampard, and Drogba were also ranked 17th, while Giuly was ranked 24th.

Small teams, after all, are still underestimated.

After that, naturally, many English media who were moved by the news came to interview Zhao Yaning.But Zhao Yaning's answer to this was also very consistent, "I think Sheva deserves this honor. Moreover, even a player as outstanding as Henry has never won the Golden Globe Award. Why should I worry?"

"It's really good of you to put all the pressure on Henry." Privately, Gerald appreciated it.

"I didn't give him the matter, but I really think so." Zhao Yaning replied, "This year's Golden Globe Award, although I have an honor advantage, but in terms of strength, I am no better than Sheva. I won it. The same cannot convince the crowd. The few of us all have no absolute advantage in strength. In this case, I have nothing to say in terms of seniority. After all, what the media said is correct. He is 28 and I am 20. Under such circumstances , I seem to have a chance in the future. In this case, why not let him take it? Sheva is the oldest, what is wrong with letting him take it? As for my own golden ball, I will get it one day. And I believe , I want to take it, let everyone have something to say, have no disputes, and be ashamed."
