Chapter 646 The Real Inspirational Emperor
December 12, Christmas Eve, is commonly known as Christmas Eve.

Roughly equivalent to New Year's Eve.

Although Eastern and Western cultures are different, it is absolutely consistent to have a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

Long Shute and Emma did not stay in Liverpool either. They drove back to London ahead of schedule with their puppy Melon, and spent this Christmas Eve with the Watson family.

Although Long Shute's funds are a little tight this year, he still has some pocket money for arranging a Christmas Eve.

The huge Christmas tree full of small gifts, the colorful lanterns bought from Chinatown, and the Chinese fireworks that the British can never name, all illuminate the Watson family's big villa with radiant lights and brilliant lights.

Looking at the small firecrackers spinning all over the ground, and listening to the salutes one after another, Little Melon could only hide at Long Shute's feet and shiver, and then Long Shute stuffed the chicken bone in his mouth.

When the cannons outside the house stopped, there was another rumble of cannons inside the house.

Little Melon lay on the sofa, tightly closed her eyes, and continued to tremble.

On Christmas Day, 12 December, all Liverpool players received a short message from fitness coach Ryland Morgan:

"Hey, boys, please pay attention to maintaining your strength tonight, go to bed early and get up early to be healthy."

Long Shute, who had already returned to Liverpool with Emma, ​​took the initiative to hand the phone to his wife, but in return Emma laughed contemptuously:

"Now is no longer the era of military management. If this coach dares to send you these messages again, we can directly sue him for interfering in our private life!"

Long Shute's face turned black:

"Baby, don't make trouble!"
-
"Just after Christmas, when the other leagues are quiet, only the Premier League is fighting."

Zhan Tianjun sat in his studio as scheduled:
"Today, director Zhang Luzhang and I, Zhan Tianjun, will bring fans and friends a strong dialogue between the Premier League championship teams. Yes, it is the leader, the Red Army Liverpool and the second-ranked Fox City and Rice A battle between dragons and tigers between special cities! Zhang Zhi, what do you think are the highlights of this match?"

"Liverpool's last round was almost tied at the buzzer. Their recent state has been ups and downs. After two short days of vacation, I don't know if they have adjusted in time..."

Zhang Lu pondered and said:

"The league has progressed so far, and the teams in the Premier League probably know one thing. If they want to play against this Liverpool, it may be difficult to win. Watford in the last round of the league provided other teams Good experience: If you want to restrain Liverpool's firepower, you only have one option to defend against the wall and clear the field. Obviously, Leicester City is a team that is very good at defensive counterattacks!"

"Yes, from a tactical point of view, Fox City may cause Liverpool some headaches again. Their two offensive cores... Vardy and Mahrez are both fast types. Once a counterattack opportunity is formed, they will be torn apart instantly. Break Liverpool's defense line! And everyone knows that most of the Red Army's back line is useless..."

As a KOP, Zhan Tianjun couldn't help but blackmail himself.

Zhang Lu put forward his own point of view:
"I read some reports before the game, all about which of the two teams has the stronger offensive firepower, who can score more goals between Longshut, Vardy, and Mahrez, but I want to remind you that Leicester City So after 16 rounds, they were able to draw with Manchester United and Tottenham, beat Chelsea, and captured Everton. More importantly, their overall defensive system is quite good, especially their midfielder has an unattractive midfielder. ..."

In front of Long Shute stood a small and unremarkable player.

N'Golo Kanter.

The height is less than 170, and the physique seems to fall down at the touch. His thick lips always seem to be grinning, and there is always a simple and honest smile on his face.

Judging from his resume, he was born in 91. He didn't officially become a professional player of the French team until 2012. At that time, he was 21 years old, and the 21-year-old Long Special had already led Ajax to win Won his first Champions League title...

After playing in Ligue [-] for a year, he transferred to another Ligue [-] team. As a main player, he successfully broke into the first division and successfully avoided relegation in the second year.

In the summer of 2015, the Italian coach Ranieri who took over Leicester City brought him into the account, but Kanter was still just an unknown player at the time.

Even though the schedule is nearly halfway now, the vast majority of England fans can't call him by name. For Leicester City, they only know that there is a grassroots star Vardy who can score in eleven consecutive games, and another Break through the sharp and extraordinary Mahrez.

In Leicester City's lineup, Vardy is of course the one with the most exposure. After all, he is the top scorer, and he deserves the attention.

But other than that, his inspirational experience is the hot spot of media hype. Compared with him, Kanter and Long Shute are weak!

His father was a decorator, and he had an affair with a female student. Afterwards, his father changed his mind and followed Xiaosan away, leaving orphans and widows to fend for themselves. Mother Wa had to take her son and remarry a crane driver. .

The British would never have children, let alone other people's sons. It is conceivable how much fatherly love and education Vardy can get. He ended his education early and embarked on the path of football.

But he did not show his talent in football. Instead, he was terminated by Sheffield Wednesday at the age of 16 because he was too short and too thin. From this, it can be seen that China and the United Kingdom still have many similarities in many aspects. Even the way of selecting players is similar.

Vardy, who has been rejected many times in a row, can only lower his goals. While working in factories and docks to make ends meet, he continues his football dream in amateur teams. At that time, his weekly salary was only 30 pounds, which was not even as good as just joining Ever. Dayton's Long Special!
But even so, it took Vardy three years to make the transition from the reserves to the first team at Stokesbridge Park Steelers, an eighth-tier amateur club, and when he was 21, his weekly The salary has been raised to 100 pounds, which is not much different from that of Long Shute who was in the Ajax youth team at the time.

Such Weibo income is obviously not enough for an athlete to eat meat and drink in large bowls, so football is only his side job, and his main job is still working in various factories.

At the age of 23, Vardy experienced his first official transfer, from the eighth level to the seventh level. At that time, his transfer fee reached 26 pounds. He led the team to win with [-] goals. won the league title, and moved again, joining a fifth-tier team.

In the 2011-12 season, Vardy led his team into the fourth-level league with 40 goals in 34 games, and has since become a professional player. This year, he was 25 years old.

At the age of 25, he joined Leicester City, which is still in the British Championship, with a worth of 100 million, and his income has also increased significantly-at least a few thousand pounds a week.

But happiness is only for a short time. In the first season of joining the Blue Fox, he only scored 4 goals.

Everyone thought he was finished.

Oh no, at that time, few people knew about this 25-year-old grassroots who was still living in the low-level leagues, so no one had expectations for him.

In the 13-14 season, his condition gradually recovered, scoring 16 league goals in a single season, helping the Blue Fox to surpass, and he finally entered the top league stage.

In his debut in the Premier League, he drew 1-1 with Arsenal with the Blue Fox, and he even completed his first Premier League goal in the game against Manchester United-the result of that game was the newly promoted Leicester City 5 -3 swept the Red Devils who had just changed coaches...

But his highlight moment is nothing more than that. In the 14-15 season, Vardy played 34 times in the Premier League, but only scored 5 goals. Just like most players in the British Championship cannot adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. Immediately will be eliminated by Leicester City.

But...God smiled at him. He just started the new season, and he was out of control!
Scoring goals in 11 consecutive league rounds!Break the Premier League historical record!

If it weren't for the damn Longshut's airborne Anfield, Vardy would be the most dazzling star in British football this season!

Jamie Vardy, who is about to turn 28, looked at the red figure standing not far away, and muttered in his heart:
Want to compare inspirational stories and chicken soup for the soul with me?

You are not qualified at all!
