Chapter 220: Welcome to the Club World Cup!
"Who provoked Remayr again, he looks like he's going to tear the Magpie Legion alive." This is the post-match evaluation of Lao Lei's performance in this game by The Times, and it is also recognized by fans as the most appropriate and vivid evaluation. Because Lao Lei's murderous appearance in this game is indeed like tearing Newcastle alive.
'Although the Portuguese only scored the first goal of the opening period in this game and did not provide a direct assist afterwards, once you watched the game in its entirety, you have to admit that even half of the credit for Chelsea's 4-0 win came from him. After this game, perhaps no team would dare to play a one-man defensive arrangement against the Portuguese, even if he was playing the ball in midfield. The reason is simple, just look at the Newcastle players who played the role of bowling pins perfectly in this game, and no manager, let alone any player, wants to suffer something like this again. ”
The above is the detailed description of Lao Lei's table in this game by The Times, which is very vividly written and basically true. Lao Lei, who was ruthless in this game, was unusual, and played a simple and rough football on the field that he had not seen for a long time. Without the imaginative and artistically beautiful football of the past, he destroyed the entire Newcastle midfield on his body alone, and in the end it can be said that they would make their legs weak at the sight of him.
However, it was precisely because of this that Chelsea only needed 70 minutes in the semi-main force to let the visiting Newcastle swallow four bombs in a row and lose in disgrace. In the end, if Mourinho hadn't been worried that Lao Lei would be viciously retaliated against by the Newcastle players and replaced him early, perhaps the score would have been even more disparity.
However, as far as Lao Lei is concerned, he is somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Mourinho was replaced early. Because at that time he was playing and he was not having enough fun. Given the conflict between him and Newcastle, he also knows that Mourinho is protecting himself, and he does have a reason to do so. But there is no way, the depression in my heart has not been fully vented, that is, it has not been fully vented, and this kind of problem cannot be forcibly changed.
Fortunately, Kayla finally finished her work that night and returned to her and Ray's home in London, giving Ray a place to vent his frustration and dissatisfaction. So, in the bedroom of Lao Lei's house that night, the passionate spring cry was not interrupted, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that the clouds and rain stopped. This passionate evening once again proved the greatness of women, and without them, it is estimated that the earth would have been ruined by men.
But women are also pathetic because in many cases, they don't get the comfort and companionship they deserve from men. This time Lao Lei is also like this, but unlike other scumbags, he really can't get out. The next day, after leaving Kayla a breakfast and a kiss on her forehead, he saluted the day earlier and boarded a flight to Belgium with his team.
In this Champions League group stage, which has nothing to do with Chelsea's qualification, Lao Lei only started in the first half. Then, at the beginning of the second half, he was replaced by Essien. With a score of 2-0, Chelsea won the game with a tepid scoreline. With Anderlecht themselves already in contention for third place and a place in the Europa League, both home and away teams were very modest in this game, and basically did not play any gunpowder.
For such a game, Lao Lei has always been the least interested. So in the 14th minute of the first half, he completely lost interest in this game after assisting Drogba's header with a free kick. After that, until he was substituted, he played the game with just six points, just enough to maintain Chelsea's advantage over Anderlecht in midfield without going too far.
After the game, it was precisely because of this performance that Lao Lei was rarely named the Most Valuable Player after the game after playing. It was an unrelated affair, but it attracted unexpected attention after the game. Lao Lei's mediocre performance in this game was caught by the Catalan media, and became the best background board for Ronaldinho's excellent performance.
As the European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year selection in 05 are approaching, Lao Lei and Ronaldinho are the hottest candidates this year, so Lao Lei's rare "downturn" this time has also become a promotional material for Catalans to build momentum for Brazil. Although Barcelona's overall results last season were still not as good as Chelsea's, Ronaldinho was not inferior to Lao Lei in his personal performance, so he is not completely out of chance. Even though he is slightly inferior to Lao Lei because of the team's overall honor, his likable style of play and healthy and happy image are more recognized by the mainstream of the mass media than Lao Lei.
In addition, the selection of European Footballer of the Year is very related to word of mouth, public image and media public relations, so this behavior of the Catalan media cannot be said to be useless. Although the content of these reports has little impact, no one will characterize a player based on his or her performance in a game. But public opinion, after all, is a big win, and three people become tigers, who can guarantee that Lao Lei will not lose in this media public relations in the end.
Therefore, when Lao Lei had not yet spoken about the Catalan media reports, the London media, which took on the main force of the campaign for Lao Lei's selection of the footballer of the year, could not sit still and made a spicy response to the Catalans' views. Their point of view in response was simple and straightforward. "The answer to which of the two of them was better was already known in last year's Champions League, when Reima beat the Brazilians!"
As soon as this kind of rhetoric of being justified and rubbing salt in other people's wounds came out, it immediately provoked a fierce counterattack from the Catalan media. For a while, when Lao Lei and Ronaldinho did not speak out, the public opinion war between the two local media has become fierce and fierce.
In the end, the situation was so intense that even Lao Lei and the two of them couldn't speak. On the one hand, when the media in the place where their respective clubs are located are so big about the two of them, they come out and say something peaceful, no matter how you look at it, it is a little unbearable on the face. Give a slap to someone who is kind enough to help him do things, Lao Lei can't do anything.
And on the other hand, both of them have the kind of personality that neither admits defeat because the other party is a friend, nor tears their faces because of a momentary win or loss. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the two of them tacitly muted their voices and did not express any opinions on it.
However, this media public opinion battle has not calmed down because of the silence of the two parties, but has a tendency to intensify as the final selection time approaches. For a while, there was a phenomenon that Lao Lei and Ronaldinho were in every game, and they would be compared and evaluated by the outside world. It can be said that the two have become the center of the most lively public opinion vortex in the entire football world at this time.
And I don't know if this kind of full-court live comparison inspired the competitiveness of the two, anyway, both of them came up with a very wonderful table in the subsequent game, you scored twice in this game, I will dominate the game with one pass and one shot in this game. This kind of one-on-one bullfighting-like basketball-like individual competition that comes and goes, without showing weakness, soon became the most popular news for fans around the world with the help of the media. Under such circumstances, the respective support groups of the two sides have also spoken out.
Under such circumstances, if the speeches of football celebrities and football workers are relatively restrained and rational, then the fans of both sides have completely evolved into a rivalry between the two hostile countries. Some of them spoke fiercely and even radically, and even began to speak filthy words, forcing each other to die at every turn. Such a public opinion situation may be bad and unhealthy, but it is an unexpected boost for Lao Lei and Ronaldinho. Because the names of the two of them followed this trend of public opinion, they completely became the only protagonists in world football during this period, and they had the invincible momentum of killing all sides and the gods retreating.
Such a situation may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some players, and they hope that this kind of public opinion will continue to be maintained, or even heat up even more. But as far as Lao Lei is concerned, he is quite dislike these things. Even if this has brought him a lot of valuable advertising contracts and popularity in recent times, he is very tired of finding that his personal space is gone.
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho...... The name of the Brazilian friend has recently become the whole of his life, and surrounded by a barrage of journalists, Ronaldinho has become the whole of his private life during this time. Even if he is a good friend with Ronaldinho, he can't stand this situation.
But when it's hateful, he still wants to go all out in this competition, if nothing else, he just doesn't want to be inferior to anyone. Therefore, Lao Lei's life during this period can be said to be bittersweet and inseparable, and he knows that he has suffering.
Thankfully, he won't be living like this for long. First, because the Mr. Europe award ceremony is getting closer and closer, this public opinion boom has finally ushered in the final end. Second, it is because he ushered in an opportunity to gain the upper hand in the competition in one fell swoop and set the advantage.
That's it, the Club World Cup is here! R1152
