Chapter 421

Chapter 421

A big tree attracts the wind, this is an ancient saying, and it is also a wise saying. Chelsea is a big tree, and it is like this now. The results on the field are good, and there is no fault.

Gerrard's goal?There's not much to report about that, the guy used to wreak havoc when he was at Liverpool, but now he's playing harder and scoring more goals at Chelsea.

Instead of reporting his goals, it is better to focus the camera on his family, and gossip is more interesting than the game.

But this guy is a bit rigid, there is no gossip to break the news, a good old man is never as good as those troublemakers occupying the page in the news, and his personality also determines that Gerrard is not the target of those gossip reporters, but Chelsea is not alone. , People will always dig out some news.

Now when those reporters are reporting on the Chelsea team, they can only find those lace news to make up the numbers.

For example, the love affair between Ashley Cole and the big beauty Shelley, especially during the summer truce, Cole, who just won a big contract from Chelsea, finally took action against Shelly.

A diamond ring worth 10,000+ may not seem like an expensive gift in the eyes of a famous singer, but on the beach in Dubai, Cole managed to capture Shelly very successfully.

However, those reporters also joked when reporting this gossip news, "The high salary that Kenyon gave Ashley was overdrawn by that guy before the first week's salary was paid."

But such news does not seem to be a bad thing for Chelsea. Some people even say that the vigorous love between Ashley Cole and Shelley is like Chelsea's version of Beckham and the Spice Girls.

The person involved didn't care about such news at all. Even after the proposal was successful, Ashley Cole announced in a high profile that he planned to marry Shelly after participating in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Mourinho is now happy to see those reporters focusing their attention on gossip news. After all, no one likes a bunch of reporters who are like flies all day long, and they have to analyze your tactics.

There may be less nonsense from reporters, and those who claim to be commentators are the most annoying.

If the team's performance is good, they will say that Chelsea's use of such a stable performance has deprived the rest of the competitors of their motivation and made the entire Premier League game seem to have lost its passion.

Especially the fierce state of Chelsea's four-line attack recently, it has caused many teams to complain in private. The large investment is in exchange for the championship, but this makes them unable to survive for small clubs.

The main force asks for a salary increase, and the potential stocks ask for regularization, otherwise they may slip out of their hands at any time.

This kind of pressure has indeed made many small clubs regard Chelsea as a thorn in their side. It is the sky-high salary offered by Kenyon that has raised the salary level of the entire Premier League to a very high level.

Chelsea doesn't care anymore, but it is impossible for other small clubs not to consider the cost, but once the cost is considered, they may lose their core players, and even teams like Arsenal are not immune.

You can imagine how embarrassing the clubs fighting for relegation are. The broadcast fees they get for a season in the Premier League are not enough for them to pay the salaries of most of their players.

But this is the natural law of survival of the fittest. Even if Chelsea does not disturb the transfer market, after a large amount of broadcasting fees are injected into the Premier League, the competition among those giants will start to increase salaries.

It's just that Kenyon has exposed this phenomenon early in order to poach people, and the outbreak is a bit fierce. In the next three to five years, some small clubs are bound to be kicked out of the Premier League or professional football due to financial problems , This is the disadvantage that capital will bring after invading football.

It seems that Chelsea is now the inert gas of the Premier League. As long as they have them, the league will be over.

Their victory has become a sin. If the winning streak continues like this, maybe these people will say something in the newspapers. Maybe, those bastards will advocate Chelsea to destroy the league.

There were already such remarks last season, especially when Chelsea had been pursuing a one-to-zero policy in the early stage, many people were criticizing their style of play, which was to reverse the Premier League's tactical system.

It can only be said that the Chelsea team has not yet established its own brand among the media, especially some veteran columnists and reporters, most of whom are standard megaphones belonging to traditional giants.

If Chelsea want to have any good news reported in their writing, it is estimated that they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Even Kenyon said helplessly, "We still don't have our own voice in the media."

There is no way around this. After all, in the past nearly 100 years, the Chelsea team has not flashed a few times. Who would pay attention to such a team that often performs poorly?That's the hell.

What's more, from Mourinho to Lin Yi, the two most popular guys in the Chelsea team, they have never had a good impression of the media. Although they are not incompatible, at least there is no intersection.

At most, Mourinho needs to borrow the mouths of those media at certain critical moments to say what he wants to say. The two parties can at most be regarded as a cooperative relationship of mutual use, nothing more.

As for Lin Yi's attitude towards the media, it made Kenyon even more melancholy. You can't say that Lin Yi is rude, at least he would make many people smile, including those reporters, but Lin Yi just didn't answer questions.

Especially those questions about his private life, this kid has always been a thousand miles away, no matter which newspaper or TV station reporter you are, as long as you ask questions other than football, you will definitely hit a wall.

Even the local media in London is treated this way, and you still have no way to trouble that kid.

After all, the phrase "stretch your hand and don't hit a smiling person" is common in many places. Although Lin Yi has a smile on his face, a guy like him who is not soft and hard at all is the bastion that gives reporters the most headache.

But no one is willing to provoke Lin Yi, after all, this kid is smiling at you now, but don't touch his bottom line easily, otherwise, the last unlucky person must be yourself.

Just think about those guys from Sky TV, and you can see how Lin Yi dealt with reporters.

However, this kind of unharmonious relationship with the media has indeed caused Chelsea to face criticism from reporters in many cases. Can this be regarded as a kind of literati hatred for the rich?

Anyway, Chelsea is really not very likable. Although the fans who support it are gradually increasing, compared with those traditional giants, the foundation of the Blues is still a bit weak, or even not worth mentioning.

Otherwise, no matter how they play, they will attract criticism. Can't they win?Losing is also fucking said.

What does it mean to be shot while lying down? This is the standard shot while lying down. Chelsea played well, and these guys can talk so much nonsense. If Chelsea played very badly, they would have more to say.

In the first two games at the beginning of the season, Chelsea were not dominant in terms of scene and offense. These guys grinned and slammed Chelsea players in front of the microphone for not being aggressive after winning the championship.

And they are still constantly questioning Mourinho's ability to control the team. After counting this guy, he had many problems in Porto. After winning the championship, it is difficult for the team to continue to maintain cohesion.

Many people even asserted that if Mourinho could not successfully defend the title, then Abramovich would definitely fire the Portuguese, but after the league passed, all these nonsense disappeared.

But the half-dead tone of reports about Chelsea shows no signs of changing.

There is nothing to say about Chelsea's winning streak. On the field, these beasts are very strong.

Even those competitors have to be impressed by Chelsea's stable performance. It seems that what Mourinho has trained is a group of machines. Even in high-speed operation, there is no failure at all.

Accurate, fast, tough, this is the influence that Chelsea left on others. It was like this last season, and this season is an enhanced version. Besides the toughness, there is also a touch of agility brought by that kid Lin Yi.

Although many people still don't like Chelsea, more and more people like that kid Lin Yi.

Even Beckham jokingly said in an interview that he really does not want to return to the Premier League, because Lin Yi now exists in the Premier League, and those female fans have found new goals to pursue.

Even the staff who guard the Chelsea training ground can prove this point. In the past, Chelsea's training was only watched by fanatical fans at most. Now, more and more girls are concentrated here.

Everyone knew who they were waiting for, as long as Lin Yi appeared on the training ground, those crazy women would burst into overwhelming cheers, which made handsome guys like Gerrard and Lampard very depressed.

"God may be jealous of him." This is Gerrard's evaluation of Lin Yi's flamboyance.

In contrast, Lampard seemed very calm, there was nothing he could do, because he and his old teammates had been used to such crazy scenes since last season, and women were not immune to Lin Yi.

Lampard really wants to tell those newly joined teammates not to compare popularity with Lin Yi on Valentine's Day.

On the first Valentine's Day after the kid joined, the gifts he received were finally taken away from the Chelsea training ground with a forklift. All kinds of small gifts and chocolates made Stamford Bridge smell sweet.

It can only be said that Lin Yi has conquered all Chelsea fans after one season, and brought a lot of loyal female fans to Chelsea by the way, everyone is a package owner.

Even Kenyon said that Real Madrid can't sell Lin Wing for a lot of money. That kid is simply a cash cow. With him, Chelsea's package sales are at least [-]% higher than in the previous two seasons.

It is estimated that Florentino also saw Lin Yi's appeal among female fans, so he was able to recruit Lin Yi without any scruples. Although the investment was large, the return was also amazing.

Lin Yi has no intuitive understanding of his influence among the fans, but before the start of the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, he also saw for the first time how many fans support him.

Needless to say, Chelsea fans, although Lampard was also selected for the final election, he knew very well that if Lin Yi was on the list, he would have no chance to compete for this award.

However, as Ronaldinho's voice is getting louder, Lin Yi can be regarded as a dark horse in the cross-stabbing. He was selected for the first time in the big list, and he is supported by the number of powerful fans behind him.

Even UEFA's official website was once paralyzed by fans who supported Lin Yi. It is estimated that even these people in power did not expect that the little guy with black hair could become so popular in one season.

Obviously, they ignored Lin Yi's performance in Porto. Don't forget that in Porto, this kid was the absolute main force. It is also because of his existence that Porto can achieve the great cause of the Triple Crown, but he The results achieved in the Premier League this time are more dazzling than ever.

It is estimated that even Ronaldinho, who won the World Footballer of the Year last season, never thought that after losing the Champions League duel, he would have to accept Lin Yi's challenge in front of his personal honor this time.

The little guy with black hair, like a tiger standing in the way, just stood in front of him.

Whether Ronaldinho met Lin Yi in the game or this kid in this kind of selection, it seemed that he could not take advantage of it. In some respects, he was even at an embarrassing disadvantage.

The "World Player of Football" selection is voted by the head coaches and captains of the national teams, but Lin Yi's perfect performance in one season has made a strong rise, which made many people participating in the competition feel the pressure.

Originally, many people had some criticisms about Lin Yi's lack of national team level competitions, but his performance in the Portuguese national team a month ago has made these voices of criticism shut up voluntarily.

Even Scolari has publicly said that he must support Lin Yi, and his performance is absolutely impeccable.

"Ronaldinho is a great guy, he showed that last season, but after this season it's clear he's going to have trouble trying to do it again."

"It's hard for me to imagine such a crazy performance when there are only a few people around."

"Ronaldo only set the Eredivisie goalscoring record in Eindhoven, but now Lin Yi has lifted two championship trophies. I believe he will be able to do more."

In addition, those who think that Lin Yi's offensive ability is insufficient have also begun to realize that since the beginning of this season, Lin Yi's offensive initiative has begun to increase significantly, and the number of goals has also gradually increased.

In the last three games, this kid has not only assisted, but also scored goals. You must know that this kid scored goals in the middle of the league last season. The closer to the goal, the more Lin Yi's lethality can be released.

Now some people have even predicted that maybe Lin Yi will occupy the same place in the league's scorer list as Lampard did last season, and this is not a dangerous sensation, but a fact.

Even when the media was predicting who the World Player of the Year would be this time, Lin Yi was gradually becoming popular, and not only himself, but at least four people from Chelsea had the chance to be on the list.

Needless to say, Lin Yi himself, he definitely has a chance to compete with Ronaldinho now.

As for the final result, it may not be announced until before Christmas, but now even Brazil is talking about whether Ronaldinho's performance in Barcelona will allow him to be reelected.

After all, Ronaldo has won this award in succession, and now the Dream Team [-] led by Ronaldinho in Barcelona is also gradually rising. They are only a short of the Champions League trophy from the peak.

However, compared with Lin Yi's performance of winning four championships in one year, Ronaldinho does not have much advantage now, and even the Madrid media commented gloatingly, "He is out of play."

No one can predict the result, but everyone knows that between Ronaldinho and Lin Yi, there will definitely be a fierce battle, whether it is in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year or in the Champions League.

It is estimated that Ronaldinho has already felt the threat from Lin Yi. The kid who just showed up a year ago is already qualified to compete on the same starting line as himself a year later.

And now it seems that that kid still has a slight advantage. After all, that kid is talented, and he still has too much prime time to attack various honors. This is the most terrifying fact.

Anyone who wants to win the honor must take a step closer, but now it seems that Lin Yi has this ability.

And Chelsea this time not only Lin Yi has the opportunity to compete for the crown, Lampard's performance last season can at least break into the top three, behind him, Gerrard and Drogba also have the opportunity to enter the top ten.

That is to say, AC Milan can compete with Chelsea in this selection. They also have Kaka, Shevchenko and Maldini shortlisted, but compared with Chelsea, they are obviously at a disadvantage.

After all, last season, whether in the league or in the Champions League, AC Milan was suppressed by others.

But when Lin Yi led the Chelsea team forward, he was the propeller of the entire team. Not only last season, but this season, he also did the same, and it seems that he intends to continue.

Lin Yi can get such a high approval rate in the selection of the World Player of Football, which probably surprised many people, but the most embarrassing thing is that those who ignored Lin Yi in the selection of the best rookie in the Premier League last season. Fatty, this time he failed to gain support in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year.

And the kid they thought might become a shooting star, now not only didn't care that he lost the Premier League Best Rookie award, he even crossed this hurdle and went straight to Mr. Football.

It's okay if you can't get it, but if you really get it, it will be really ironic to those Premier League judges.

Can a guy who is not rated as a rookie in the Premier League win the World Footballer of the Year?Uh, this face hit really hurts.

However, Lin Yi himself didn't feel much about the publicity from the outside world. As for the announcement of the selection before Christmas, he didn't take it seriously. Now he cared more about the concert ticket he was holding in his hand.

Uh, compared with Mr. World Footballer, the protagonist of this concert is more powerful. From the moment Lin Yi got the ticket, he didn't think of any way to refuse, let alone he didn't intend to refuse. I haven't seen that ghostly little girl for a month, and I'm looking forward to it.

Concert on Christmas Eve. . .Uh, maybe Christmas this year is something to look forward to. . .
