Chapter 779: Best of the Month
Su Dong's scorpion kick and Drogba's penalty kick became the focus of attention of the media and fans in the whole of Britain and even Europe after the third round of the Premier League, especially Su Dong's scorpion kick.
Su Dong has always given people a very different feeling.
He is not only the strongest center forward in the world, but also one of the players with the most delicate footwork in the world. This enables him to deal with any emergency with ease no matter what the circumstances, just like a scorpion swinging its tail.
This time, the praise for Su Dong was more focused on his on-the-spot reaction and imagination.
At the same time, he had just arrived and made almost seamless progress, with an amazing stats of five goals and five assists in the first three rounds. Combined with Su Dong's performance on the court, it made the majority of Premier League fans and even European football fans excited.
The strength of the world's number one football player is definitely not false! Even the rigorous Times said that if his teammates were not slightly lacking in the ability to seize opportunities, Su Dong could at least have made a few more assists. In the match against Sunderland, his teammates missed at least two great opportunities.
But that's how football is sometimes.
When Su Dong performed so well, Drogba still continued to suppress Su Dong in the scorer list with a penalty kick.
With six goals and three assists, Drogba has shown a very strong momentum this season and has the potential to compete with Su Dong.
On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in La Liga did not have a particularly smooth start to the league.
…
After playing against Sunderland, the British media also revealed another thing, that is, Manchester City is still trying to sign Henderson.
In this battle at the Stadium of Light, Henderson's performance was the best in the Sunderland team. In addition to passing the ball, he also had a sudden long shot that almost penetrated Manchester City's goal.
It is well known that Guardiola favors technical players, but in England, this type of player is rare, just like Milner. His footwork is considered good among English players, but in Manchester City, he still cannot meet Guardiola's requirements and can only act as a generalist.
This is also why, after Toni Kroos and Moutinho joined Manchester City, they were immediately favored by Guardiola, and Gareth Barry's position in the team also declined rapidly.
Henderson is a very rare type among English midfielders. Guardiola still hopes that he can further strengthen Manchester City's midfield, especially after the battle at the Stadium of Light. Manchester City immediately made an additional offer, hoping to sign Henderson before the summer transfer window closes.
But unfortunately, Sunderland rejected Manchester City's request.
The transfer market did not stage the so-called final frenzy in the end. Manchester City suffered a setback in the transfer of Henderson, and failed to contact Fabregas from Arsenal. In the end, they were unable to further supplement the team's lineup.
Apart from Manchester City, the situation for other teams is even worse.
The Guardian listed the summer transfers of the Premier League this season, and believed that if it were not for Manchester City's investment, the Premier League's transfer investment this summer would have created the lowest value in the past few years, which is inconsistent with the Premier League's financial strength.
The root cause lies in the subprime mortgage crisis.
In the summer of 2006, the Premier League's transfer investment reached a historical peak. After that, it was affected by the dual crises of the subprime mortgage crisis and the European debt crisis, and the investment also declined year by year.
…
Perhaps because they felt that there was no big news before the transfer market closed, the British media held back their energy and finally broke a piece of news that shocked the world of football in early September.
Rooney cheated! The all-pervasive media dug up all kinds of explosive information about Rooney's cheating, and it evolved into the so-called "J-gate", which was comparable to Terry's friend's wife-gate. Several heroines in the J-gate were interviewed specifically, and the details were described vividly, which made readers very excited.
In particular, the Daily Mail interviewed the heroine and concluded that Rooney actually brought J to the mansion for a tryst while his wife was pregnant. More importantly, "his ability is really not good. The process was too dull and he showed no temper. He didn't look as lively as he is on the court at all."
In addition, Rooney was also exposed to have cheated on his wife many times, and the target was always this woman J, sometimes with Manchester United players.
Not only that, Mundo Deportivo also learned from the heroine that Rooney cursed Cristiano Ronaldo in private, calling him a fucking idiot.
Rooney himself is England's top star. He has been involved in sex, cheating on his wife during pregnancy, threesomes, Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo... numerous traffic elements intertwined together, instantly detonating the media in Britain, Europe, and even the world.
After Terry's friend's wife scandal, British football was hit by another sex scandal.
The most unlucky one was Capello.
Damn, before the World Cup in South Africa, this group of unscrupulous media broke the news of "friend's wife scandal", which forced him to take off Terry's captain's armband and made the England national team precarious. Who in the national team is not on guard against Terry? Good fellow, just after the World Cup, Capello was planning to regroup and lead England to start again, and Rooney finally got back to form, but the media broke the news of "J" again. What are they planning to do? They are simply forcing England to death!
Capello seriously suspected that this group of media was just trying to make things difficult for him.
But there was no way, the matter quickly escalated and sparked heated discussions around the world.
In the end, there was even news that Rooney slept with more than 60 people in 18 months and had sex with prostitutes in front of his teammates, which really triggered a traffic explosion in major media.
At the same time, various peripheral extensions began to appear.
For example, a British dating agency immediately came out to take advantage of the popularity and launched a so-called market survey.
The results show that among the 20 Premier League teams, Manchester United fans are most likely to have extramarital affairs.
"Look at Rooney and there are certainly other players who have this tradition.
This indeed sparked further heated discussions among the media and fans, and there was a feeling that one could not marry a Manchester United fan.
As a result, Manchester United fans and some media outlets that favor Manchester United immediately fought back and criticized the attack. Both sides fired at each other and had a great time. The fans also put their heads in the right place and expressed solidarity and support for their own side.
…
In just a few days, the incident escalated rapidly, and Su Dong finally saw clearly the level of the British media.
If nothing else, when it comes to digging out celebrity gossip and hyping up news topics, the British paparazzi are truly the ancestors.
It was simply amazing! Su Dong was truly amazed by the cleverness of the operation.
For example, the Mirror publishes some jokes related to Rooney every day, making the most of its sarcasm and ridicule.
"Rooney's form is back and he has finally broken his recruitment drought."
"No one is saying Rooney is sexually obsessed, but he is said to have been asking his teammates if there are holes in Swiss cheese."
"Rooney's international teammates are ready to comfort his wife Coleen at any time, and Terry has said that he is always available to give her gentle comfort if necessary."
"When Ferguson told Rooney to work on his shots on target, that was certainly not what he meant.
It has to be said that the British media is so much better than English football in this regard that it has almost left the earth and rushed out of the solar system.
…
Su Dong was not idle during the two weeks of national team match days.
He still insisted on training every day, and Wang Chuqing also frequently returned to Cheshire from Oxford, mainly to help Su Dong find and purchase furniture, ornaments and various decorations for his new home, such as famous paintings.
While others were busy with national team matches and the media and fans were busy hyping up Rooney, the Premier League announced the Player of the Month award for August.
This is an old tradition in the Premier League.
Every month, the Premier League announces the Player of the Month and the Manager of the Month.
The selection methods for these two major awards mainly come from three aspects. One is the expert group composed of Premier League management bodies, celebrities and sponsors’ representatives, the other is the captains of the 20 Premier League teams, and the third is all the fans.
However, fans' votes only account for 10% of the weight, and the first two types are the most important.
After a round of selection, Su Dong won the Player of the Month in August and Chelsea head coach Ancelotti won the Coach of the Month.
The favorites for the monthly best coach award are Ancelotti and Guardiola. Chelsea and Manchester City, led by these two coaches, are both teams that have remained undefeated so far this season, so both of them have received considerable praise.
In comparison, Ancelotti's performance is obviously better. Chelsea is currently at the top of the Premier League standings and has scored the most goals, so he deserves the title of Head Coach of the Month. Guardiola is slightly behind in terms of votes.
There are three candidates for the Player of the Month award: Sudon, Drogba and Scholes.
Needless to say about the first two, Scholes has also played a vital role in Manchester United this season. It is really admirable that this 35-year-old veteran can still burst out at such a level.
Drogba's performance is also obvious to all, not to mention Su Dong. These two are currently the top players in the scorer and assist lists, and are deeply recognized by the media and fans.
In the end, Su Dong had a slight advantage in the contest.
When introducing Su Dong's award, the Premier League also specifically revealed that Su Dong received 17 votes in the selection of the 20 Premier League captains.
Since Su Dong is the captain of Manchester City, he cast his vote for Drogba, the captain of Chelsea also voted for Drogba, and Manchester United captain Gary Neville definitely voted for Scholes.
That is to say, apart from these three votes, Su Dong got the support of all the remaining 17 Premier League teams.
This is undoubtedly a very valuable selection.
When receiving the monthly best player trophy, Su Dong expressed his gratitude to all the people and fans who voted for him, as well as those who did not vote for him, and promised to continue to work hard.
Taking this opportunity, Su Dong also invited the entire Manchester City team to have a dinner at his home in Cheshire after the national team game.
He also took this opportunity to officially move into his new home.
