Chapter 280 One Allen = Two Kakas
How big is the gap between winning and losing a game?!
If you have watched the game between Chelsea and Manchester United, the fans will tell you, it only takes one second.
Only one second!!
Wang Li's fantastic free kick in the 90th minute overshadowed the entire game. This shot was the only real highlight, not just because of its beauty, but more importantly, it determined the outcome of the game.
Correspondingly, this goal was also rated as the best goal of this round of the Premier League.
The focus battle of the tenth round, Chelsea vs Manchester United, is finally over. Perhaps this game would not be too popular in the past, but starting from this season, the situation in the Premier League has changed drastically, with Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea competing for the top four, and every game will become extremely hot.
And now, perhaps Wang Li's hat-trick will become an eternal pain in Manchester United's mind. This boy, who is only 17 and a half years old, has scored 5 goals for Manchester United in two games. Manchester United, which has always known itself as the big brother of the Premier League, has become the back garden for his goals.
This really makes the fans feel unhappy, but fortunately, Wang Li is an Englishman, and they can only comfort themselves in this way.
With ten wins in ten games, Chelsea is firmly at the top of the league with 30 minutes of experience.
In addition, Arsenal have 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in ten games, with 23 points, ranking second; Middlesbrough has 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, with 19 points, ranking third, followed by Everton and Liverpool, while Manchester United dropped from 6th to 7th in the league due to their loss to Chelsea.
No matter what the situation in the Premier League is like, Chelsea is sitting firmly in the first position and is in the limelight. This makes French professor Wenger feel helpless, because if Arsenal wants to overtake the points, it is not enough to keep winning. They can only put their hopes on Chelsea's mistakes.
After 10 rounds of matches, the basic divisions of the Premier League championship, the Champions League qualification, the UEFA Cup qualification, the mid-table teams, relegation, etc. have become very clear. The top 4 teams plus Manchester United are all strong contenders for the championship, but this season, almost all media are only optimistic about Chelsea because they are too strong.
It is worth mentioning that Wolverhampton's performance this season is really disappointing. They are currently ranked 17th in the Premier League, on the edge of the relegation zone. Head coach Dave Jones's ambitions in the summer have dissipated. Facing the media, he could only claim: "Our goal this season is still to adapt to the Premier League's style of play."
In other words, it means relegation.
However, there is still news worth digging into Wolverhampton, because their young player Harrison has performed exceptionally well. In the first 10 rounds of the Premier League, he has scored 5 goals. Although this efficiency cannot be compared with Wang Li, it is also at the top level in the Premier League. This has also led many media to go to Wolverhampton to conduct special interviews with him.
However, what makes Dave Jones depressed is that the media is talking more about: "Who will this new English star end up with next season!?"
Now many clubs have appealed to Harrison with emotion and benefits. It can be said that Harrison's days in Wolverhampton have entered the countdown.
………Faced with the unstoppable Chelsea and Wang Li’s continuous high-efficiency goal scoring, The Sun’s report was still mainly based on a brief description followed by a lot of praise – “Heaven and hell, Alan Wang scored a dream lore!!”
"Yesterday, in the tenth round of the Premier League, Chelsea played against Manchester United at home. In the 90 minutes, the two teams tied 2:2. In the last minute, Allen Wang opened the door to victory for Chelsea with a wonderful free kick. Throughout the game..."
"…Finally, young player Alan Wang scored a hat trick at Stamford Bridge. This was his third hat trick in a regular Premier League match this season. Now, he ranks first in the scorer list with a huge advantage of 21 goals in 10 league games. Following him are Henry the Great of Arsenal, Alan Shearer of Newcastle United, C. Ronaldo of Manchester United and Drogba of Chelsea."
"...Undoubtedly, in this game, Allen once again proved his extraordinary strength. In the match against Manchester United, he still maintained this high efficiency in scoring goals. This year's Premier League is definitely a harvest year for Chelsea and also a year of Allen Wang's rapid rise. We are looking forward to his subsequent performance. According to reporters, Allen declared in the press conference after the game that he would break Alan Shearer's single-season record of 33 goals before Christmas."
The Fulham Post, a staunch supporter of Chelsea, directly crowned Wang Li as the king. A several thousand-word article of praise even made Wang Li himself feel a little nauseous - "Alan Wang, the Prince of Stamford Bridge"
"...Looking at Chelsea's record this year, many people may be surprised. Yes, Chelsea has won 10 consecutive league games, and the 30 points have left the workers' team far behind!! And 21 of the 40 goals scored in 10 games were created by our dancing master. 21 goals in 10 games, this is absolutely an unprecedented goal efficiency. He should be our hope, the beacon of the Premier League, the pillar of Chelsea, and the prince of Stamford Bridge!!"
It has to be said that the Fulham Post always picks out the good news in its reports, and the whole article is full of praise. It neither expresses opinions nor explains the process, but only praises. However, the local Chelsea fans in Fulham do like this kind of reports.
For the fans, it is definitely a matter of pride that these media praise Chelsea to the sky. When someone asks them which team they support, they can proudly claim that we are Blues fans!!
Of course, these are media that support Chelsea. No matter how Wang Li performs, they just support him as always. Where there is support, there is opposition. Let's see what the "Chelsea opposition" says.
The Guardian's headline was "A Stolen Victory, Despicable Chelsea People". The article did not mention Chelsea's outstanding performance or Wang Li's wonderful goal at all, but only focused on the two Manchester United players who were carried off the field on stretchers in the second half:
"…Chelsea led a despicable victory at Stamford Bridge. They adopted a large-scale foul tactic in the second half, which directly caused two Manchester United players to leave the field. It can be said that they were butchers wielding knives. Even Van Nistelrooy is still lying in the hospital. Even though Alan Wang did perform well, his professional ethics is indeed questionable!!"
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the Guardian article, it mentioned the injuries of Van Nistelrooy who is still lying in the hospital - toe joint dislocation, hamstring strain, calf muscle contusion, and needs at least 3 months of recuperation! !
This made Sir Alex Ferguson extremely sad. Of course, the Scotsman had no sympathy for Van Nistelrooy. He just felt that without Van Nistelrooy, Manchester United's offensive ability would be severely hit, and it would be extremely difficult to compete for the championship this season.
As for Wang Li's performance in the game, which led to Manchester United's three goals, Sir Alex Ferguson said helplessly: "You saw that the black-haired boy is too strong. He is very fast and has excellent dribbling skills. Especially his long-range shooting skills are absolutely world-class. At the end of the game, he also showed an extraordinary free kick technique. How can we defend? He is almost omnipotent."
"I can only envy Chelsea for getting such a player at such a low price. If he could come to Manchester United, the club could pay twice as much as Rooney and consider increasing his salary by more than three times. I think the weekly salary of 80,000 pounds is totally unworthy of his performance. Chelsea is a bit stingy in this regard."
Ferguson's words were both an inducement to Wang Li and an attempt to cause trouble for Chelsea. In this kind of interview, he would always cause trouble for his competitors.
This is exactly the case. When Mr. Abramovich saw the report, he immediately summoned head coach Jose Mourinho and CEO Peter Kenyon to discuss giving Wang Li a pay raise. He did not want the club's super striker to join a rival because of such a small amount of money.
It seems that Rita's job has been expanded recently - arguing with Chelsea and getting a better contract for Wang Li.
Of course, she absolutely enjoys doing this, not only because of her feelings for Wang Li, but also because of her income. Even if it is only 5%, after re-signing the contract, Wang Li's commission on her salary can make her salary several times higher than that of the average white-collar worker, not to mention the signing fee given when the contract is finalized. It is definitely a huge sum of money that most people dare not even imagine.
………Not only the English media, but also the European media gave high praise to the grand occasion of the game and Wang Li’s hat trick against Manchester United.
El País, a widely influential Spanish newspaper, declared: "Chelsea will be our biggest opponent in the Champions League. We must be especially careful of their No. 21 player, Alan Wang. He is an extremely formidable striker. Even a small loophole or opportunity can be turned into a goal by him."
The Italian media's reports were even crazier. Gazzetta dello Sport declared: "One Alan Wang can match two Kakas!!"
"In this exciting Premier League battle, Alan Wang dominated the normal game. A hat trick overshadowed all the stars. After this season, his reputation will definitely surpass that of England's flag bearer David Beckham because he has the ability to dominate the game!!"
At the end of the article, Gazzetta dello Sport called on the two giant teams in Milan to "acquire this superstar as soon as possible". As long as this extraordinary new star is introduced, Italy's performance in the Champions League will definitely improve greatly.
After reading this report, Inter Milan's chairman, Mr. Moratti, could only respond with a wry smile. You know, they had been keeping a close eye on this young player last season, but this summer, Wang Li's team declared that they would only stay in the Premier League, which made all their efforts in vain and had no effect at all.
In the old man's heart, restoring Inter Milan's former glory is his biggest dream. Watching such a talented star slip away from his hands is his greatest regret and helplessness.
The German media was not to be outdone. Kicker gave a precise account of the course of the match, and then had to say sourly: "Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho are indeed very good coaches. They can be called 'art masters' both on and off the field!"
They also praised Wang Li for his outstanding performance in the game: "Chelsea won the victory, and the biggest gainer was obviously the young player Alan Wang. Although he was already very famous in England before, this game pushed his fame to a peak. Perhaps ten years later, he will be enshrined in the altar like Maradona and Pele!"
At the end of the article, they were full of sympathy for Manchester United: "Perhaps the game was a tragedy for Manchester United fans. They not only lost the game, but also lost the dignity of a wealthy club, and also lost two main players, one of whom was seriously injured. This will definitely have a great impact on Manchester United's performance this season, but we still hope to see this team in next year's Champions League, because the Champions League is incomplete without Manchester United."
In faraway China, a special interview with Wang Li conducted by Shanghai TV station and posted online caused a frenzy.
Many Chinese fans believe that a star of Wang Li's reputation must have a "colorful" private life. However, in the real-life filming reports, his simple lifestyle of training at the club and going home between the two places surprised domestic fans.
Compare this to many Chinese national team players, who have been involved in frequent scandals such as clubbing, alcoholism, and calling cards. Some even claim, "I am a big star, so of course my life should be rich." How ridiculous!
For these national team players, the money they earn in a year is not as much as what Wang Li earns in a week, and the difference in strength is even greater. Some domestic media even said self-deprecatingly: "Wang Li can defeat the entire national team by himself."
However, when facing the media, they dared to say that they should be the privileged class, which made the fans feel very embarrassed and they had even less hope for the development of Chinese football.
Sports Weekly commented: "China's football career is now at a low ebb. Since the 2002 World Cup, the results have been getting worse and worse. In the just-concluded Asian Cup, despite the favorable conditions and location, we still lost to Japan and failed to win the cup. We should self-examine the reasons for the failure. Now, the problem of work style is also a key issue."
At the end of the article, reporter Xue Tao pointed out: "Compared to Wang Li, these Chinese internationals are actually not much different from street performers. What qualifications do they have to be so cool every day? What we should do is to improve our strength. If we can have dozens of players playing in European leagues, then no matter how many match-fixing and black whistle cases there are in the Chinese Super League, the overall strength of the national team will be greatly improved!!"
