Chapter 203: Ranking of top football stars, Lin Quan is on the list!

"Ahhh!"

Although after the game, Manchester City players immediately returned to the locker room to take a hot shower.

However, on the bus back to the hotel, many players still showed symptoms of a cold.

The next day, as many as five players who played in the game showed symptoms of fever.

This made the coaching staff extremely anxious.

Pellegrini called the team doctor and asked him about the situation.

"How long will it take for the players to recover and can they catch up with the league in three days?"

The team doctor shook his head: "I'm afraid not. Their physical strength and physical condition do not support them to carry out such intense exercise. I suggest that they rest well and recuperate in peace."

"Okay, what about the other players, are they okay?"

The five people known to have caught a cold are striker Aguero, midfielders Garcia and Fernandinho, winger Navas and defender Zabaleta.

Among these five players, except Garcia who is an important rotation player, the other players are all main players.

The absence of these five players has a great impact on Manchester City's combat effectiveness.

"What about Lin? He doesn't have any cold symptoms, right?"

Pellegrini specifically asked about Lin Quan's condition. With so many main players possibly absent due to illness, Lin Quan must not get into any trouble.

"I checked Lin's body and he is very healthy, there is nothing wrong with him!"

The team doctor had never seen a player with such good physical fitness as Lin Quan. He did not suffer any injuries while fighting continuously on multiple fronts.

There is no other reason to explain this except his superior physical fitness.

"That's good. Isolate the sick players and don't let them affect the healthy players!"

Although it is most likely not the common cold, Pellegrini is not at all careless.

If cross infection really happens among team members, we will be in tears.

…

In order to allow the team to return to London as soon as possible and better prepare for the match against Chelsea.

Manchester City's big boss Mansour dispatched his own private jet to pick up the players.

In this way, Manchester City players can save a lot of time and energy during the journey by eliminating the hassle of boarding and security checks on civil aviation aircraft.

Mansour's private jet is very luxurious. After getting on the plane, Manchester City players couldn't help but look around and even take selfies.

Some players even posted their selfies taken inside the plane online, which attracted the admiration and envy of countless fans.

"Damn, this plane is too luxurious, isn't it?"

"There is a private cinema, a dedicated lounge and game room, a chess and card room and a coffee shop. Although it is small, it has everything!"

"You don't understand this, right? This is a customized private jet, specially designed according to the needs of the customer. It's completely different from an ordinary civil airliner!"

“I really want a plane like this!”

"Wake up, stop daydreaming. This kind of high-end customized private jet costs at least several small goals, in Euros. Do you think you can afford it?"

"How inhumane!"

"No wonder people call Manchester City a nouveau riche. It really lives up to its reputation!"

…

To help players pass the time and prevent them from getting bored during the flight.

Except for Mansour's private bedroom, the rest of the theater, game room, and chess and card room are open to the players.

Some players chose to go to the movies, while others went to play games.

I don’t know whether it was specially prepared for the players or Mansour himself is a game fan.

The game hall has a very rich selection of games, and almost all the equipment is top-notch, which makes the players have a lot of fun.

"Lin, aren't you going to play?"

Pellegrini was proud of his status and chose not to play around with the players.

But he was surprised to see that Lin Quan didn't go either.

"I have tried these before, so I won't fight with them."

Pellegrini seemed very surprised when he heard Lin Quan's words.

Has Lin Quan ever ridden on Mansour’s private jet before?

He came to Manchester City later than Lin Quan and was not quite sure how Manchester City signed Lin Quan in the first place.

But from the few words Lin Quan just said, he imagined a scene in his mind where the big boss of Manchester City personally went to Lin Quan's house and invited him to Manchester City.

After thinking about all this, he had a deeper understanding of Lin Quan's position in Manchester City.

This guy not only has excellent football skills, but also has a strong background. Behind him stands the big boss of Manchester City!

He is a big boss who is higher than the club chairman Fahim!

Thinking of this, Pellegrini's attitude towards Lin Quan became more friendly.

…

One of the main reasons why Lin Quan didn't participate in his teammates' games was because he was busy chatting with Lily Collins.

Although there was no mobile phone signal when the plane was flying at high altitude, there was open WiFi on Mansour's private plane, which allowed him to chat with Lily Collins through social software.

I opened the social software and found several unread messages.

The earliest one was sent at 10:30 last night, which should have been right after their match with CSKA Moscow ended.

"Congratulations, you guys are amazing!"

The first message congratulated them on their victory and included a clapping emoji.

"Have a good rest after the game. It should be late over there!"

"By the way, be sure to take a hot bath before going to bed, don't catch a cold!"

After sending three messages in a row and not getting a reply from Lin Quan, Lily Collins seemed to realize that the other party's phone was not with him.

So after sending a good night expression to Lin Quan, he chose to log off.

It was already eleven thirty when Lin Quan returned to the hotel yesterday. He was so tired from playing football and getting caught in the rain that he almost fell asleep immediately without having time to read the message she sent.

After seeing her message at this time, a smile appeared on my face.

"Did you watch my game?"

After the message was sent, there was no immediate response.

Lin Quan then picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading it.

This is a sports newspaper, and most of the reports are about the Champions League group stage and the five major leagues.

The focus of the third round of the Champions League group stage that ended yesterday was the match between Real Madrid and Juventus.

In this game, Ronaldo scored twice and helped the team beat Juventus 2:1.

Just 4 minutes into the game, Ronaldo scored the first goal, helping the team establish a leading advantage.

After Juventus equalized the score, he quickly stood up again, took advantage of the penalty opportunity created by Ramos, and scored the ball steadily in one fell swoop, completing his second goal.

Including this game, he scored a total of 7 goals in the first three rounds, averaging 2.3 goals per game.

This goal efficiency is the best in the top five leagues! After the news that Ronaldo has a chance to win this year's Ballon d'Or came out, Ronaldo's status suddenly became hot.

After scoring two goals in this game, Ronaldo's total number of goals in European competitions reached 58, surpassing the legendary Portuguese star Eusebio and Dutch star Van Nistelrooy, ranking among the top three in the historical scorer list, only behind Messi and Raul.

In addition, Ronaldo is also the third player in the history of the Champions League after Inzaghi and Elber to score at least two goals in three consecutive games.

However, the limelight of this round of the Champions League was not monopolized by Ronaldo alone.

In the away game against Anderlecht, Paris Saint-Germain striker Ibrahimovic performed amazingly and scored four goals! After three rounds of matches, Ibrahimovic scored 6 goals and temporarily ranked second in the scorer list with only one goal difference.

Although he scored one goal less, none of Ibrahimovic's six goals were penalties, while one of Ronaldo's seven goals was a penalty. If the penalties were removed, the number of goals scored by the two would be the same.

This made the fans who supported Ibrahimovic dissatisfied with Ronaldo's lead:

"How can you be called a real man if you win by penalty kicks? If you are a mule, why don't you just not take the penalty kicks and compete with Ibrahimovic with your real ability?"

"Haha, you're talking as if your Ibrahimovic has never taken a penalty. The fact that Ronaldo can be Real Madrid's number one penalty taker proves that he has a good mentality and a high success rate in penalty kicks!"

"It's so funny. Only you Luo fans can talk about taking advantage so confidently!"

"Haha, when Real Madrid draws Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout round and beats them, you won't be able to laugh anymore!"

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Judging from the current records of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, the probability of the two teams meeting in the knockout stage is still relatively low.

However, in the World Cup European qualifiers, Portugal led by Ronaldo will soon face Sweden led by Ibrahimovic.

In the play-off draw, Portugal drew Sweden, and only one of the two teams could qualify for the World Cup.

This means that the two teams will not hold back and will definitely go all out to fight their opponents to get the last ticket! With the current hot form of Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, the outside world is full of expectations for this match! The reporters obviously knew this, so they interviewed the two players.

Ronaldo scored in three consecutive games. He was not only in hot form but also in a very good mood.

In response to reporters' questions, Ronaldo said that Sweden is very strong, but he and Portugal are stronger.

He is confident that he can lead Portugal to defeat Sweden and qualify for next year's World Cup.

As for the competition between Ibrahimovic and himself, Ronaldo did not mention it at all, but only emphasized that his top priority now is the national derby with Barcelona at the weekend.

Although Ronaldo did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that he did not take Ibrahimovic seriously.

This statement naturally aroused dissatisfaction among the Swedes.

When the reporters who were fanning the flames found Ibrahimovic, the Swede opened fire and directly criticized: "C Ronaldo? Haha, I've only heard of Ronaldo. That's the real Ronaldo!"

As we all know, Ronaldinho is Ibrahimovic's idol, and he has praised the alien in front of outsiders more than once.

As for Ronaldo, from his tone it sounds like he is just a fake using the name Ronaldo.

Originally, Ibrahimovic could not say that he liked or disliked Ronaldo, but the other party's attitude of not taking him seriously was something that the proud Ibrahimovic could not tolerate.

When the reporters saw Ibrahimovic ignoring Ronaldo like this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, only by interviewing someone as outspoken as Ibrahimovic can big news be made! So, they continued to ask questions: "Zlatan, who do you think is the best player in football today?"

Normally, given Ibrahimovic's personality, he would definitely say that he is the best.

But this time, Ibrahimovic's answer was different from usual: "If you force me to choose one from so many players, I will choose Messi or Lin!"

This answer surprised the reporters.

Hasn’t it been rumored that Ibrahimovic and Messi have a bad relationship?

Why did he choose Messi?

The rumors from outside are actually exaggerated. Ibrahimovic does have conflicts with Barcelona, ​​but there is no conflict between him and Messi.

In fact, Ibrahimovic admires Messi very much.

The one who has a bad relationship with him is not Messi, but Guardiola!

What surprised the reporters was not only that Ibrahimovic chose Messi, but also that he placed Lin Quan on the same level as Messi.

The reporters admitted that Lin Quan was very strong, but he didn't seem to be strong enough to be on par with Messi, right? "Haha, I know what you guys are thinking. Go watch Manchester City's game and you'll know if what I said is true!"

…

After seeing the interview report about Ibrahimovic, Lin Quan's mouth twitched slightly.

Why did you drag me, a bystander, into the war between you and Ronaldo? What did I do to offend anyone?

He opened Twitter and took a look at the Twitter trending list.

As expected, Ibrahimovic's interview made the list.

He and Cristiano Ronaldo are also on the list.

The debate on the content of Ibrahimovic's interview has already been going on for a long time.

"Ibrahimovic has some self-awareness and doesn't brag about himself!"

"It is universally acknowledged that the two most powerful players in football today are the best. Even if they are given a hundred chances, they would not dare to put themselves ahead of Messi and Ronaldo!"

"The above poster is too naive. If you watch Ibrahimovic's interviews a few more times, you will know how highly he thinks of himself!"

"I am the only one who is supreme in the world! This is what Ibrahimovic really thinks!"

"But this time it's very strange. Ibrahimovic actually put Lin Huang on the same level as Messi. Does he think so highly of Lin Huang?"

"I checked and found that Lin Huang only scored 4 goals in the three group matches of the Champions League, ranking fifth in the scorer list. Although not weak, it is not too outstanding, right?"

"Haha, scoring four goals in three consecutive games, if that's not outstanding, then what is outstanding?"

"To be honest, when evaluating Lin Huang's performance, we can't just look at the number of goals he scored. Did you notice that he also had three assists, which makes him number one in the Champions League assists list!"

"Little-known fact: Lin Huang is only 17 years old this year. Ronaldo is 28, Messi is 26, and Ibrahimovic is 31. It's a bit unfair to compare him with these players. You should compare him with people of the same age. By doing so, you will know how terrifying Lin Huang's current performance is!"

"That's right. Even compared to these top stars when they were young, Lin Huang's statistics and performance on the court are overwhelming."

Some fans made some statistics of top players when they were seventeen years old, and then compared Lin Quan's current statistics with them.

This way, you can intuitively feel the horror of Lin Quan! After reading these data, whether fans know Lin Quan or not, they can only use the word "evil" to describe him!

Sure enough, Manchester City is willing to spend 100 million pounds on him, they are definitely not fools!

Some football experts have even compiled a list of the top 50 football stars based on the performances of top players from major clubs in recent seasons.

The Two Heroes ranked in the top two without any suspense.

Messi ranks first and Ronaldo ranks second.

Third place is Lin Quan’s national team teammate Iniesta, and fourth place is Xavi.

After Harvey, Lin Quan found his name and he was ranked fifth.

“Lin Huang’s overall strength is very strong, but he debuted a little late and lacks a lot of historical achievements, so his ranking has been affected.

This is not to say that he is not as good as the previous players. In fact, in my personal opinion, he is a player of the same level as the two great players! "

The website that compiled the rankings gave some explanations behind Lin Quan's ranking.

Of course, even if he explained the reason for this ranking, there are still many fans who don't buy it.

"What a rubbish list! Ibrahimovic is only ranked seventh. Once you see this ranking, you know this rubbish list cannot be trusted!"

"Falcao ranked 6th and Cavani ranked 20th? Are you sure you got it right? Why is Falcao so much higher than Cavani?"

"Rooney is ranked 15th? Fat Rooney's performance this season doesn't deserve to be in the top ten?"

"Wow, why isn't my Kaka here?"

Just as Lin Quan was evaluating whether the ranking on this list was fair based on his own subjective feelings, a prompt sound suddenly rang out.

Lin Quan was cheered up, thinking it might be a message from Lily Collins. He opened it and saw that it was indeed the case!
