With the league games between Chelsea and Norwich City in place, the dreaded Premier League Christmas schedule is getting closer. The Christmas schedule is a unique name for the Premier League, and as the only league in the world without a winter break, the Premier League is known as the hardest league. In terms of overall commercial development, the Premier League is indeed at the top of all leagues in the world, but this is in exchange for a terrifying number of games. So it is not unreasonable for some people to blame the weakness of the England national team on the Premier League schedule. After an extremely tiring season, it is indeed too difficult to expect players to have any outstanding performance in a major tournament such as the European Championship or the World Cup.

That being said, the Premier League's fixture schedule has never changed as a result of these voices. The reason is simple, that is, money, business, the major bosses of the team do not support it. Since the average salary level of the Premier League is top-notch, in this case, the bosses, as capitalists, will naturally choose to squeeze the value of players as much as possible. Unless the players can voluntarily take a pay cut across the board, that's not going to happen. So that's why there's never been any change in the Premier League's fixtures, even though it's not a one-day or two-day affair.

The Christmas schedule is painful for the players and the team because not only do they not have much time off during this big holiday season, but they also have to play four league games in a row during the week. If two games a week can already make the players tired, then four games a week is a hell of a journey, and that's not even counting the fatigue of the journey. Due to the Christmas schedule, the two games are basically only one day apart. So basically all teams don't have a break after playing. Immediately about to pack up the package and rush to the next city to prepare for the war. This can be imagined in the middle of this schedule. What kind of fatigue the players are enduring, and there is no more terrifying devilish schedule than this.

It is precisely because of this situation that the Christmas schedule has also become the easiest opportunity to grab points and compete for the rankings. During this period, even if it is a top team, if the physical condition is not good, it is not a small probability event that the boat capsizes in the gutter. Therefore, the Christmas schedule is also a very upset period, and the image is a little metaphorical, so to speak. This is the scene of a huge car accident, and with the road almost completely blocked, no matter how good your driving skills are and how good your car is, the probability of a car accident is still not much less. So for all Premier League teams, the Christmas schedule is almost a tough test to go through every year. During this period, the amount of energy they need to pay is unimaginable, and the so-called injuries are just commonplace.

Of course. On the other hand, this is indeed a festive celebration for the fans. Because during the Christmas holidays, they can enjoy great treatment that fans in other leagues don't have. Enjoy watching the team play at your leisure. Therefore, the Christmas schedule is also the hottest period in the Premier League. Actually, before the English league was fully formalized. The Christmas schedule is even more terrifying, with some teams even having to go to different cities in one day. Playing two games in a row. For the current players, it was another unimaginable day and pain.

But not in the past. The Christmas schedule is also sad enough for the players. Chelsea players are now experiencing this sadness, having already begun to be 'abused' by their strength and conditioning trainers and nutritionists before the Christmas schedule officially begins. In addition to this, even in their private lives, they are restricted. At Mourinho's request, he wants them to spend as little time in bed as possible during this period and store as much body as possible for the next scary Christmas. After all, not to mention winning or losing, fatigue is often associated with injuries, which is also a protection for themselves.

And in addition to the players who are in pain, the coaches are also in pain. The number of games in a row for four league games has allowed the Chelsea coaching staff to start the process of working overtime early. Chelsea's four Christmas fixtures are Villa in the round of 19, Portsmouth in the round of 20, Liverpool in the round of 21 and Middlesbrough in the round of 22. As this is a good time to widen the gap on the points as much as possible, Mourinho wants to win all four games, although it is a very difficult thing to do. And it is precisely because of its difficulties that Chelsea need to be more prepared.

However, in this painful preparation process, Lao Lei has good news. After watching Chelsea's home game against Porto in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Lao Lei took a flight to Zurich, Sweden with Keira and Mourinho. It is home to the FIFA headquarters and the 2004 World Footballer of the Year award ceremony will also be held here. Similar to the European Golden Globe Award, Lao Lei is almost inevitable for this award, and there are almost no challengers. Even Ronaldinho, who is the biggest threat to Lao Lei, lacks enough convincing championship awards to canvass for him in front of Lao Lei's bumper harvest in 2004. Although unlike the European Golden Globe Awards, this award will not notify the winners in advance, but in this regard, Lao Lei is still confident that there will be no accidents.

Unlike the European Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year award ceremony is the finale, but there are a number of other awards to be awarded, such as Miss World Football, Fair Play and Best Goal. It can be said that in terms of content, the FIFA awards ceremony is undoubtedly richer than the European Ballon d'Or. In addition, its selection rules are slightly different from those of the European Ballon d'Or, which includes more authoritative journalists and media, while the World Footballer of the Year is selected by the captains and managers of national and regional national teams. Although it is difficult to say that the selection mechanism is better, in terms of the selection scope, the World Footballer of the Year is indeed more interesting.

Before the award ceremony officially began, FIFA had already announced the list of three nominees for the World Footballer of the Year, including Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho and Lao Lei. Actually, in this list. Except for Lao Lei, who did not have the slightest problem, the other two candidates all had a lot of doubts. Among them, there is no one with the most doubts. The defeat of Shepchenko, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, made both the Milan media and the Ukrainian media very dissatisfied.

About Lao Lei among the three. The question of who should be replaced by Shepchenko is a matter of arguing with the supporters of each of the trio. Of course, this qiē is none of Lao Lei's business, as the biggest favorite, he and his supporters are watching these quarrels with a condescending attitude. This phenomenon is especially obvious in Chinese fan groups, and the "Lei Gang", as the old Lei Chinese fan group, has always held a "superior" posture in the quarrels with Arsenal, AC Milan and Barcelona. But look at these disturbances. During this period, one of the favorite things that the disciples of the "Thunder Gang" did was to knock melon seeds and watch the huge fan groups quarrel to the death on major forums. At this time, they have the same idea as Lao Lei, this is sour, amazing!!

On the day of the awards ceremony, Lao Ray took Kayla and appeared on the red carpet. As another pair of golden boys and girls in the sports and art worlds, coupled with Lao Lei's identity as the most popular candidate. Naturally, the two have once again received the most enthusiastic attention from the media. The dazzling magnesium lights and the noisy scene are a lively scene, but Lao Lei has long been accustomed to this. In the words of the tide, it is. Lao Lei already has a big star aura that can cover the audience, and he looks cool.

After entering the venue, Lao Lei is no longer a little person that no one cares about. There are many big people who greet him cordially. After all, the football circle says that small is not small, but big is not big. Even in different countries, different leagues. We have to meet several times a year. Of course, this does not exclude some people with intentions, the most obvious of which is Florentino, the helmsman of the Galactic Battleship. "The Galactic Battleship is star-studded, but it can't win the championship" is nothing new. Especially in the new season of La Liga, the Galaxy Battleship was once again suppressed by the sworn enemy Barcelona, and under the leadership of Ronaldinho, Barcelona once again replaced the sworn enemy to sit in La Liga.

Real Madrid's sluggish form across the board in the new season has shaken Florentino's chairmanship. Under such circumstances, Florentino, who has always believed in the superstar policy, naturally began to look for new superstar candidates again, among which Lao Lei, as the most popular new superstar in today's football, naturally entered the eyes of this football superpredator and became one of the hottest candidates among his next recruits.

Lao Lei, who has heard all kinds of legends about his recruitment, finally experienced it himself today. "Reima, do you think it's true that 'the best players in the world should play in the best teams in the world'?" Looking at the gentle and elegant Florentino in front of him, but there was a domineering spirit that could not be hidden in his expression and tone, Lao Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is indeed a decisive hero-like figure. This kind of determination and arrogance is incomparable to the wealthy Abu, which may be the difference between the aristocracy and the local tyrant.

However, no matter what, Lao Lei at this time has absolutely no intention of leaving Chelsea. In addition, he has a careful thought in his heart, that is, he wants to invite me, this attitude is not enough! "I believe that my team is the best club in the world!" His reply showed the sharpness and sharpness of young people. Lao Lei's gesture not only made Kayla on the side look at the stars, but also made Florentino stunned for a while.

As a qualified old fox, Florentino could naturally hear the faint rejection hidden in the words. At his age, looking at people at Lao Lei's age is similar to looking at children, and how can adults care about children? In this case, he also stopped at the point, and after a few words of greeting, he smiled and said goodbye. "It's so rude." Florentino, who walked away, didn't care about the complaints of the secretary next to him. Whether it was sincere or sycophant, he could see it clearly, but he didn't care, how could the lion care whether the ants were crying or laughing. After walking to his position, he glanced back at Lao Lei, and whispered meaningfully in a voice that he could only hear: "Who knows the future?" ”

Next, in the conversation between Lao Lei and Mourinho and Ronaldinho, the award ceremony finally officially began. After the major awards have been awarded, the finale of the World Footballer of the Year has finally arrived.

As a result, Lao Lei was once again undoubtedly the final winner, and he won the championship with 700 points, beating the second place Ronaldinho by 500 points.

In the thunderous applause of the participants at the scene, Lao Lei raised the golden trophy above his head.

became another player to win the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year.

After the award ceremony, the Times had a comment on this.

"He's on the road to legend!" (To be continued......)
