king of world football

There has always been a saying in European football that the Premier League is the most competitive league among the five major leagues. It is undeniable that due to the benign income and expenditure distribution, the development of English teams is gratifying.

But this level of intensity only exists in the mid-range. They can compete for a place in the European war in the first step, and they need to fight for relegation in the next step.

As for the real throne, there will be almost no waves. Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, a total of 24 champions have been determined. Manchester United and Arsenal have become the main winners, and they jointly won 18 of them.

Earlier, the competition in England's top league was much crueler than it is now, and there are many small teams who often upset and win the championship.

Not only the Premier League, but other European competitions also have this development trend. In addition to the oligarchic teams, it is becoming more and more difficult for small clubs to compete for the championship.

The most critical factor causing this situation is financial strength. With huge investment in the transfer platform, they monopolize talents and form a cliff-like level gap.

Among them, the giants can quickly accumulate capital by virtue of their unique development conditions and business operations. Representative clubs of this type include Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, and Bayern.

Another category of clubs has rapidly increased through the injection of huge external assets regardless of cost. The more successful cases are Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Blues invested by Abramovich took the lead in reaping the sweetness. In just a few years, they won the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship, surpassing Liverpool, Tottenham and other strong teams with deep foundations in one fell swoop.

Not to be outdone, Manchester City is now heading towards the Champions League after winning the Premier League title. Paris is also doing the same, breaking the dominance of traditional powerhouses such as Lyon and creating its own Ligue [-] dynasty.

Even if there is a Leicester City miracle like last season, it is only a flash in the pan, and the team will soon face disintegration and lose the courage of the past.

Standing at the Intihad Stadium at this moment, Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the match between Manchester City and Leicester City has almost turned into a one-sided situation, and the defending champion has lost all face.

Only 6 minutes into the game, Fernandinho made a steal from the backcourt and quickly distributed it to the wing. Stones galloped forward and then knocked De Bruyne across.

The Belgian midfielder dunked the defense and sent a through ball. In the penalty area, Wang Feng shot diagonally to meet the ball, and instantly pierced through the goal of the visiting team. Manchester City led 1:0!

Seven minutes later, Blue Moon made a comeback with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai. Silva passed it to Sane, who forced a pass from the bottom, and Aguero made another victory with a header from 7 meters in front of the goal.

After that, Manchester City continued to attack Leicester City. The visiting team only had one or two chances to counterattack, and they were easily put out by the home team's defense.

In the 38th minute, De Bruyne received the ball again and sent a diagonal pass. The Chinese superstar stopped in the penalty area to open up space, and then scored twice with his left foot lob.

A three-goal lead was achieved at halftime, so Guardiola decisively replaced substitute players one after another. Even so, it was difficult for Fox City to cause them trouble.

Before the end, the teenager Sane scored the fourth goal for Manchester City, and the team beat Leicester City.

.........

The 15th round of the Premier League ended with a big victory for Blue Moon. After the game, the players, led by captain Kompany, thanked the fans of the home team and received bursts of applause and screams.

Then everyone walked into the locker room in twos and threes, simply soaking in the rain and preparing for physical therapy. This is an essential part for athletes, which can effectively prolong their careers and reduce injuries.

Naturally, Manchester City will not be sloppy in this regard. They have hired the world's top physiotherapist team to monitor the players' physical and psychological states in real time.

In addition, there are nutrition experts who specialize in healthy eating, kinesiology experts who are responsible for rehabilitation training, and so on.

It can be said that Blue Moon is not inferior to Real Madrid in the quality of service players. The only thing lacking is probably the accumulation of experience. After all, Real Madrid started to build related teams as early as the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship.

The meticulous support is definitely not available in small and medium-sized clubs, and even players may encounter unreasonable problems such as misdiagnosis and delayed injuries.

It is no wonder that more and more talented athletes yearn for the life of a wealthy family. They can devote themselves to the game without distraction, show their talents to the fullest, and enjoy the sense of accomplishment brought by the game.

Under the ingenious technique of the physical therapist, Wang Feng only felt that his muscles were fully relaxed, while De Bruyne couldn't help but hum comfortably.

At this moment, a staff member walked up to Wang Feng and said to him, "Wang, there is a visitor here. It is a group of "French Football" magazine. Congratulations!"

The teammates next to him couldn't help but smile when they heard the words, Kompany said with a smile: "Our Manchester City finally has Mr. Golden Ball!"

The Chinese superstar had a look of nostalgia on his face. The last time he received the group of "French Football" was seven years ago.

Since the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year merged into the FIFA Ballon d'Or, there has been no talk of interviews and photo shoots in advance. I didn't expect to separate and return to the old routine now.

After promising to invite his teammates to feast and celebrate, Wang Feng got up to meet the visitors. The former editor-in-chief Jeter Pfenestier had retired and was replaced by deputy editor-in-chief Faris. This time it was he who personally led the team.

"We meet again!" The Frenchman stretched out his hand and held Wang Feng tightly, "Do you still remember me?"

"Of course, Mr. Faris, when I won the European Ballon d'Or for the first time, you personally received and took me to the awards ceremony. That was in 2003."

"It's my honor. More than ten years have passed, and everything seems to have never changed. You are still you, still standing on the top of the world football."

“We are really excited to witness all this with our own eyes!”

The next step is naturally the familiar photo session. In several iconic areas inside the Manchester City training base, photos of Wang Feng holding the Golden Globe trophy or posing were taken for easy publication in the special issue of the magazine.

Mansour, the owner of Manchester City who heard the news, also rushed back to England from the UAE, not only to congratulate Wang Feng, but also to join in the fun. Naturally, Faris was not stingy and readily agreed to take a group photo of the two.

Touching the Golden Globe trophy fondly, Mansour asked: "This is just a model, right? The real trophy is still under production and will be awarded at the awards ceremony?"

After getting an affirmative answer, the UAE rubbed his hands, and asked Wang Feng a little embarrassedly: "Wang, that...can you keep this trophy in Manchester City?"

"You know, this is the club's first Ballon d'Or, which is of special commemorative value, and it means that we have taken another solid step towards the giants."

Mansour knew in his heart that his own club was of little help to Wang Feng's award. After all, Manchester City lacked foundation and UEFA lacked foundation.

The reason why Chinese superstars are selected depends entirely on their own strength and achievements, so the UAE people feel a little ashamed of their own requirements.

Looking at Mansour's expectant eyes, Wang Feng waved his hand generously and agreed. Anyway, he has already won 12 Ballon d'Or trophies, and it's not a big deal to give one to Manchester City aside from the one given to Real Madrid.

Besides, the award is far more valuable than the trophy itself. This donated golden ball can also be kept in the team history exhibition hall forever, for countless younger generations to look up to. Why not do it?
