Chapter 103 We don't need to be liked

Lin Yi, who is the best player in the game, will naturally attend the post-match press conference. Both Chinese and Jordanian reporters are looking forward to the questioning session. There is only one target they most want to interview, and that is Lin Yi.

The first question was from a reporter from China Central Radio, "Lin Yi, you played so well in today's game, is there anything you want to say to the domestic fans?"

"Thank you to those viewers who stayed in front of the TV late at night. Fortunately, we didn't cause trouble for everyone today. I hope everyone pays attention to rest while watching the game. Then I would like to thank the more than 200 Chinese fans who came to the scene. I heard that there are more than 50 Chinese fans who came here on purpose. You have worked hard, and I salute you!" Lin Yi got up and made a traditional Chinese hand salute to the camera. Fans will always be their source of motivation.

"Lin, you are so friendly to the fans in your own country, but why do you provoke the Jordanian fans on the field? You know, they didn't target you!" A Jordanian reporter was very upset when he saw Lin Yi's attitude.

"No, I just want to thank them for their hospitality. What's the problem? Next time the Jordan team comes to China to play, I will also call on the Chinese aunts to dance a few nights of square dancing to pay tribute to the Jordan team. You know, the whole universe is the dance floor of the Chinese aunts. I believe you will like it. If you score a goal, you must express your gratitude in Chinese!" Lin Yi said in a friendly manner, but everyone can hear the contempt for the Jordan team.

The Jordanian journalists didn't know what a "Chinese aunt" was or what a "square dance" was, but they heard the threat in Lin Yi's words. The mountains and rivers meet each other. After all, they still have an away game to play.

"Lin, to be honest, you don't look like a Chinese at all. You don't have the traditional Chinese humility and friendliness. You and the Chinese team are destined not to be liked by any Jordanian." The Jordanian reporter said bluntly.

"I assure you, I am definitely a real Chinese. If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother. As for whether you like me and the Chinese team, what does that have to do with us? To be honest, we don't need to be liked, we prefer to be feared, even hated. Because it means that we are very strong, so strong that people are desperate. You look at the German team, the Spanish team, and the Brazilian team. In their home continent, who else likes them besides their own fans, but so what, who cares?"

When Ji Dong's words came out, everyone was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true.The strong don't need to care whether the weak have respect for themselves or not, what they want is surrender.Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Yi's words took root in the hearts of these Jordanian reporters.At the same time, Ji Dong's words were quickly translated into various languages ​​and spread all over the world.

……

Early the next morning, Lin Yi bid farewell to the teammates of the national team. As the only overseas player, he boarded the plane to Europe alone, which made him feel very lonely, lonely journey, lonely destination.

No need for an alarm clock, get up, send a text message to Zhao Liying, wash up, go out for morning exercises, open the refrigerator after taking a shower, slice toast and put it in the toaster, fry a poached egg with a slice of English bacon on the fire, this is all of Ji Dong’s breakfast, and it is also his morning life these days.

From opening his eyes to the shaggy-haired car honking its horn downstairs, Ji Dong didn't say a word. This is his life in England, lonely.If Chinese players do not have the company of their families during their overseas trips, they will have to work hard to integrate into the local life circle. Otherwise, the loneliness and rejection will cause serious psychological problems. In the end, let alone playing games, depression is considered strong.Ji Dong's loneliness is not due to other reasons, but purely because he enjoys loneliness. If he wants, he can use a ladder every day at home. He has no shortage of friends in Everton, although he has only been here for a short month.

As soon as Ji Dong got into the car, his hair was shaggy and he kept chattering, "What do you think of tonight's game? It's a pity that you may have to be a substitute in such a good state, but who told you that your country is so far away, and you have flown almost half of the world. God, the last thing I can bear is long-distance flight, but fortunately you are not Bergkamp, ​​otherwise there is not enough time to go back and forth by boat..."

Tonight is the 4th round of the Premier League. Everton played against Aston Villa at home, but Moyes did not make a starting commitment to the players returning from Asia, Africa and the Americas. He only said that everything depends on the training status this morning. Obviously Moyes is afraid of the FIFA virus.It just so happens that today's opponent, Aston Villa, is not considered a strong team, so Moyes is preparing to rotate, trying to give everyone a good rest while striving for victory.

So Ji Dong was very active in the recovery training in the morning. He just wanted to tell Moyes that I am fine and I am very energetic, so let me go.But it's a pity that Ji Dong didn't get the starter as he wished in the end.

……

"Poor Everton, they were equalized again. I thought they could get all 3 points at home, but now it seems a bit difficult." Albert Daly, as a fan of Lin Yi, naturally felt sorry for Everton.

In the 18th minute of the game, Barkley assisted Austin, who replaced Lin Yi, to score the first goal in the penalty area, 1:0, and Everton took the lead at home.Aston Villa, who was passive and weak in offense, was surprisingly efficient in this game. In the 31st minute of the game, Aston Villa's England international forward Darren Bent received a header from the Czech Heskey's cross from the penalty area line. The score was equalized at 1:1. This was only their first shot in the game.Everton took advantage of the scene but was unable to score again for a long time. The two sides tied in the first half.

Changing sides to fight again, Everton continued to suppress Aston Villa in the backcourt, but couldn't start the situation. Moyes began to warm up the bench. Ji Dong's figure appeared on the big screen, and the scene burst into warm applause, "Lin, Lin, Lin..." cheers one after another.In the 60th minute, a corner kick from Drenthe was passed to the center. In the chaos, the shaggy shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, but the football accidentally hit Banan's open right hand, and Baines hit the bottom right corner of the goal in one fell swoop, 2:1.Everton took the lead again and gained absolute control of the scene. Moyes began to make substitutions. Tim Cahill, who also experienced a long journey, replaced the Frenchman Saha who was in poor condition. The other substitute players returned to the bench.

This game is Moyes' plan to score points. Players can rotate and rest. Like Lin Yi, he has been playing since the beginning of the year. Players who do not have summer physical reserves are what worries Moyes the most. The Premier League season is too long. The competition is too dense, and rotation is a must.Seeing that the game is about to be won, Moyes is very satisfied with the game. His team has not been attacked by the FIFA virus, and the physical condition and state of the players are also good. As long as they stick to it for another 15 minutes, it will be another 3 points at home.However, there was an unexpected situation. Aston Villa showed their perseverance with taffy-like stickiness at Goodison Park. In the 81st minute, Hutton made a big-footed clearance.

The Evertonians who surrounded the visiting team were dumbfounded. Moyes immediately replaced Pinar with Ji Dong and John Duffy with Argentine Straqualusi. Moyes had to make a final fight.But there is too little time left for Ji Dong and Everton.Lin Yi made several threatening shots, and he also had a long shot from outside the penalty area, but they were all resolved by goalkeeper Ji Wenhua.

At the end of the game, watching the 2:2 on the big screen, the Everton players and coaching staff could only shake their heads and lament the bad luck.At the end of this round, Everton has 2 wins and 1 tie with 7 points, and is ranked 1th with 6 round less. Another team also has 7 points, but it can only be suppressed by Everton because of the goal difference.This makes Everton fans very happy because their name is Liverpool.

On September 9, the "Liverpool Morning News" published an article saying that Everton, who had one round less, can lead Liverpool in the standings, which is enough to show that Liverpool fans can only explain their past glory to the younger generations. Their era has passed, and Liverpool has been completely reduced to a civilian team.

On September 9, the "Echo" published an article saying that Liverpool, the greatest team in England, has its own pride and will never compete with those teams that can only fight for the UEFA Cup qualification every season.The league is long, and Everton's current ranking is meaningless, and they haven't met a top-ranked team so far this season. There is too much water, or look after a few rounds, such as Manchester City, such as Liverpool!
The reason why the tongue-in-cheek media of the two clubs spare no effort to derogate each other is mainly because the Derby will be in two more rounds, and the two sides are building momentum for the teams they support in advance.This is also the game that Ji Dong is looking forward to the most. He has too many reasons to want to participate in the derby.

　Ask for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket.I would like to recommend a song to everyone, Li Ya's version of "Over the Hill", which I have been listening to recently. It is already my favorite song besides "The Hill".
