While Chelsea were on their way, the City of London finally had his news coverage.

The Times – Today, the Chinese Zheng Zhi finally gave up his crutches and walked on the road like a normal person. Perhaps, he doesn't need to wait a season to make a comeback? That's not good news for Arsenal.

However, the Arsenal boss laughed when he saw the news, commenting on Sky Sports: "What are we afraid of? ”

'The whole Premier League will be scared, but Arsenal will not be afraid, we are 13 games unbeaten and no one can beat us. And we're coming to Chelsea and we're going to get rid of them. ”

"We are invincible this year."

Arsene Wenger is really confident this year, he doesn't take the other pairs seriously at all, and the old rivals Manchester United have not put pressure on Arsenal, Chelsea? Even if the manager is Jose Mourinho......

But then Arsene Wenger was honest, 'Well, if Chinese return to Chelsea, it would be a huge variable, but obviously he's recovering from an injury and I know it's terrible and it's impossible to come back in a hurry...... See you next season! ”

'But I would say that when the Christmas schedule comes, Chelsea will fall behind, they may beat Manchester United, but then they may not be able to continue like this......

Unexpectedly, Chelsea fans did not react much to Zheng Zhi's news.

Outside Stamford Bridge, a Chelsea fan was asked by a reporter from The Times what he thought of Zheng Zhi and he replied: "First of all, congratulations on his preparation, but to be honest, I'm worried about whether he will upset the balance of the squad once he returns, we have an invincible team now, we have few defeats this season, which shows that this team is quite mature. I know that Chinese used to be the number one person in the world, but the future is ...... After all, it's the future, and I'm conservative about it. ”

The Times then spoke to another fan, who was also tactful: "Of course we welcome him back, but now that Makellele, Frank Lampard and Veron have done a great job, it may take a while for him to get used to coming back." ”

"Hopefully he'll be back in time for the end of the season, we need a lot of bench depth!"

Coach Jose Mourinho also talked about Zheng Zhi, "It's too early to talk about a comeback, we are all focused on our own things, until that day comes, I firmly believe that as long as a healthy Zheng Zhi is the strongest Zheng Zhi, there is no doubt about that." ”

He then went on to talk about Chelsea: "Chelsea are still foals, not favourites, whether it's in the league or the Champions Cup, ......

"Arsenal are strong but he can't win all season......

……

Regarding the reaction from England, Zheng Zhi also saw a lot on Sohu. There are both positive and negative evaluations, but his mentality is still very peaceful, he is at this age, what bad things have he not experienced?

As Arsene Wenger had predicted, Chelsea were ferocious and beat Manchester United 1-0, only to be held to a 1-1 draw by Leeds.

That's the brutality of the Christmas schedule.

Chelsea lost their third game, 2-1 to Bolton. A second defeat in the league dropped them straight to third, with United coming from behind Arsenal.

Chelsea's form began to deteriorate, with a 1-0 win over Fulham, followed by a 4-2 defeat at Charlton Athletic and a 3-0 win at Portsmouth.

But United were always second.

New Year's Day 2004 has finally arrived.

Zheng Zhi travelled from Shenyang to the capital, and from there to France, where he was to attend the 2003 Golden Globe Awards, accompanied by Mendes and Wu Di.

Originally, he was the most promising candidate to win the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, but he only played for half a year!

Naturally, the advantage is gone.

Now, the most vocal is the Czech Nedved, who is only second in the odds to win the Ballon d'Or.

In third place in the odds is Arsenal's Thierry Henry.

His arrival finally attracted the attention of European media reporters.

"French Football" did not interview him before the award this time, and made an album for him, Zheng Zhi knew that he would not win the Golden Ball, but he still came to participate in the award.

At the gate of French television, Zheng Zhi was interviewed.

"Zheng, are you confident that you will win this Golden Globe?"

Zheng Zhi smiled, "If I hadn't been injured, I think I would have won it with confidence, but now I think it should be Nedved or Henry who should win this award." ”

"Lost?"

"I can't always have good luck, I can have bad luck, can I? It's fair, and I can't always win the Ballon d'Or. ”

Zheng Zhi is very calm, life has ups and downs, good and bad, and fate has been good enough for him.

"You're in such a good frame of mind, when do you expect to be back on the court?"

"It's about half a year away, and I've got a long-term recovery plan in place now, but I'm definitely not going to risk it."

"Do you weigh 200 pounds?"

"No, I've actually lost a few pounds, and when I was able to walk on my own, I started losing weight because I wanted to get back on the court as fast as I could."

"What if we can't get back to the top of what we used to be?"

"There's no way around it, but I'm going to do my best......"

※※※

In the reception room of the TV station, Zheng Zhi met Nedved and Henry, and after the two came, they immediately gave Zheng Zhi a thick hug, and then blessed Zheng Zhi.

Then the awards began, and unsurprisingly, Nedved won the Ballon d'Or, but unexpectedly, Henry was in second place, and Zheng Zhi was only in third.

Zheng Zhi can let it go, there is no pain, but Henry is different, his eyes are full of loss and pain.

Missed the goal.

But who told him that he didn't lead Arsenal to the Champions League final? Although he has led Arsenal to the top of the table unbeaten this season, his league goals have not only led LinkedIn Gran, but also dominated the European Golden Boot table.

Nedved's testimonial was also modest.

"I don't think Zheng would have been an honor if he hadn't been injured, he's the perfect champion and I'm lucky. But I know Zheng will definitely return to this stage, maybe at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, or at the end of next year, and ...... soon."

The camera immediately fell on Zheng Zhi's body, and Zheng Zhi clapped his palms with a smile......

'I also think Thierry Henry deserves to win the Ballon d'Or, he's been so good in England and he deserves the Ballon d'Or.

Henry was also laughing, but he didn't smile, and it looked quite uncomfortable......

"It's not an honour to be here as runners-up in the Champions Cup, all I can do is to lead Juventus to the final again this year and bring the Big Ears Cup back to Turin."
