Chapter 231 Allen, Better Than Rooney
Wang Li's performance has always been good.
Thinking back carefully, from the time Wang Li joined Wolverhampton's first team, until he was injured, was placed on the bench by the head coach, joined the national team, transferred to Chelsea, etc., no matter in which game, whether he played as a regular or a substitute, his performance was hard to leave people speechless.
Perhaps, whether it is head coach Dave Jones, Swede Eriksson or "madman" Mourinho, they can easily point out Wang Li's shortcomings and his shortcomings in his performance on the field, but they cannot deny that Wang Li's advantages and performance completely cover up these shortcomings. If only the data is used to express
As a striker, goals speak for themselves.
Wang Li's outstanding performance will of course be hyped up by the media, so now he has the titles of "Dance Master" and "One of England's Double Stars". His classic goals such as "Dream Dance", "World Wave Shot" and "Perfect Overhead Kick" have been played on major websites and football programs, and the click rate continues to be high.
It can be said that Wang Li's reputation in England is already very high. If we use an image comparison, he can at least be compared with the pillar players of top teams such as Frank Lampard and Steve Gerrard.
However, this kind of player is not a god after all, and he still cannot escape the problem of being an ordinary player in the national team.
Ever since Wang Li fell out with Eriksson and announced the principle of "no playing for non-main players", his reputation among fans and the media has plummeted. Many people even think that Wang Li's achievements are just that. He has offended the head coach of the national team. Even if he performs well, he will not be able to play for the England team.
Therefore, although many media are still very interested in the news about Chelsea, and have not used words to criticize Wang Li who performed well, there are not many reports. At least they think that fans will not like this.
What is the difference between the performance of a player who cannot play for the England team and that of a foreign player?
However, the word "no matter how good" is almost not applicable to Wang Li. It can only be used to describe ordinary players.
From that day on, Wang Li showed his power again. His record of scoring 5 goals in two games left many media speechless.
5 goals, all classics, even if these goals were collected, they could be used as a collection of a star's classic goals in a year, but Wang Li only took a week to complete it.
Especially the two goals in the last game, a classic left-foot long shot and an extremely domineering volley in front of the goal, and it was in the European Champions Cup. For English fans and media, this won face for Great Britain and honor for the entire English football.
Therefore, after this game, major newspapers, websites, magazines, and TV stations reacted immediately, and the trend of flattering Wang Li spread rapidly.
In the first match of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 4:1, making the Premier League focus Chelsea once again the topic of discussion on the main pages of major newspapers such as The Sun, The Guardian, and The Times. Wang Li's second goal, along with Mendy and Mbami's fierce shots, was directly used as the big picture on the front page of the sports page. In the words of a certain Chinese website in a certain country,

Now, no media doubts Wang Li's strength anymore.
The ridicule of The Guardian and the pessimism of BBS TV were regarded as a kind of irony by everyone. These reporters and editors are definitely very smart people. They will not follow the footsteps of a couple in The Guardian. Now, Wang Li is not just a "potential" star in the mouths of reporters. Many media even regard Wang Li as the savior of English football. "What qualifications does that Swede have to let Alan Wang sit on the bench?"
Although the media did not comment on this, The Sun, which has always supported Wang Li, used half a page to mock Eriksson's behavior. "Is that arrogant Swede better than Sir Alex Ferguson, Mr. Wenger, and the 'madman' Mourinho? What qualifications and confidence does he have to let Alan be a substitute and not play in the game? A talented star who averages more than 2 goals per game in the Premier League, and major teams have studied him for a long time but still cannot stop him from scoring goals, can't play for the England team? This treatment is absolutely unfair. We believe that an outstanding talent like Alan Wang will be able to secure a starting position no matter which country in the world he goes to."
The Daily Telegraph said bluntly: "Eriksson will ruin the England team."
"Some outstanding talents have their own personality traits, and Alan's characteristic is to speak the truth. He believes that he has enough ability to enter the main lineup, but now, Mr. Eriksson has not given him the same treatment as his strength. If Alan misses the World Cup in Germany because of this, it will be a disaster for English football. I think the FA should consider replacing an English coach to coach the England team. I believe that a local English coach will never make such a fatal mistake."
It has to be said that most of the English media and fans are the inheritors of the Great British spirit. Chelsea's head coach, Mr. Mourinho, is a champion coach who led a small club to win the "Triple Crown". After coming to Chelsea, he would confidently say before every game that Chelsea would definitely be the winner, and Chelsea also proved this with the final score. However, these things were reported by the media, giving this Portuguese the nickname of "madman". The same thing, when it came to Wang Li, became "telling the truth".
Perhaps this is the different treatment based on nationality, even Wang Li is not a pure Englishman.
At this time, all kinds of brands around the world that needed sports stars to do advertising came to Wang Li, among which the competition between the two major sports brands Adidas and Nike was the most intense. According to Rita's report on Wang Li, Adidas had offered a sky-high price of 4 million euros a year to sign Wang Li as their brand spokesperson. They had always thought that their rival Nike had been against them, because Wang Li's agent, Miss Rita Andre, had not made any statement.
In fact, it was just because Wang Li had been living a wonderful life with Angela recently, and he was too lazy to think about the advertising contracts. He wouldn't lose much money in a few days, and maybe it would be even higher... Wang Li really hit the jackpot.
If the English media still limits Wang Li's praise to the domestic context, in faraway China, Wang Li has long been synonymous with the "God of Football". The reason is that Wang Li is half Chinese.
Don't underestimate bloodline. The aristocratic atmosphere in Europe, the religious heritage in India, the election of chiefs in Africa, and many other aspects of the world are directly related to bloodline. The same is true in China. If someone has half Chinese bloodline, people will regard him as "overseas Chinese" or "Chinese descent", which makes many people feel more intimate with Wang Li.
We are all descendants of Yan and Huang.
In the football desert country in the eyes of Europeans, Chinese fans want to prove all the time that Chinese blood can still play in the top leagues, but their hopes and more sea turtles have failed again and again. Now, the most successful one is Sun Hai, but he is just an ordinary defender of Manchester City. Even if Chinese reporters want to dig out some magical performances, they have to make up and modify them by themselves...
Wang Li's sudden rise has given Chinese fans hope. In the English Premier League, which most players have to look up to, Wang Li's high scoring rate of more than 2 goals in a single game has shown the world "basketball performance on the football field". Yes, "basketball performance", because Wang Li can even decide the outcome of a game.
The match between England and Poland led by Eriksson is a real proof of this.
What else could this kind of player be but the 'God of Football'?
Maradona, Beckenbauer, and Pele?
Who is that? We only know Alan. Oh no, it's Wang Li from China.

The hype from the media and fans is actually not a good thing.
Originally, Chelsea's first place in the league had already made other teams feel a little disheartened, and now due to the extensive media coverage, Chelsea has become the target of public criticism.
Of course, in Chelsea, Wang Li is the worst.
Now, almost all Premier League teams are studying tactics to fight against Chelsea and to restrict Wang Li's performance. Obviously, if they cannot restrict Wang Li's outstanding performance and allow this young player to continue to guarantee the efficiency of scoring two goals per game, how can they win the game against Chelsea?
Among them, the three traditional giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are the worst affected.
For other teams, it is not so difficult to deal with Chelsea's strong rise, as they have no strength to compete for the league title anyway. Whether it is Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal, it has almost nothing to do with them no matter which team wins the league title. But it is different for these top teams. If Chelsea really continues with this kind of performance, it will be extremely bad news for other top teams.
At the very least, they will not be able to be the protagonist of the English league for a long time in the future, which will cause them to lose a large number of fans and income, and they will miss the league championship trophy. Their competitiveness in Europe will plummet. A large number of outstanding players will choose Chelsea when they transfer, just because Chelsea can win the league championship...
Now, Manchester United has even set up a discussion group to specifically study and formulate relevant strategies for the match against Chelsea, and to professionally study the weaknesses of Chelsea and Wang Li.
Regardless of how effective this method is, for Sir Alex Ferguson, missing out on Wang Li in the summer transfer window may be his biggest pain now.
'My biggest regret is treating Rooney and Allen as equal talents in the summer transfer window.'
Now, the league has only been played for 5 rounds, but everyone knows that Wang Li must be better than Rooney.
