Chapter 399: The King of Football Stars

After the game with Bayern Munich, Chelsea's victory was heard all over the world, and almost 90 percent of fans believed that Chelsea would definitely win the championship.

The record of scoring 5 goals away from home and leading by 3 goals was indeed brilliant enough. At the moment the game ended, many German fans could not believe the result. They defeated Bayern Munich at their home ground. This result was impossible to achieve even when the Spanish Galacticos was at its most glorious.

But now, Chelsea has done it. Their young player Alan Wang, who is less than 19 years old, has scored 4 goals by himself. It can be said that Bayern Munich did not lose to Chelsea, but to Wang Li.

After the game, Bayern fans in the audience looked at the black-haired boy in the field for a long time without saying a word. They were really stunned by the game. Bayern players all shrugged their faces. They knew that the team's Champions League journey this season was over. At the end of the game, Ballack even cried directly. He played very well in the game, but unfortunately he was closely defended by Wang Li in the second half. Therefore, the fans did not approve of his performance. After the game, the Kicker newspaper only gave him a passing score of 6 points.

Wang Li received an extremely high score of 9 points, and his performance was perfect.

At the post-match press conference, Bayern head coach Felix Magath said nothing. He didn't know what to say. In fact, he was very dissatisfied, but facing the current score, he had no reason to be dissatisfied. Did he go to the media and say: We only lost to the opponent's No. 21 player Allen Wang, not to Chelsea?

Oh my god, that black-haired boy belongs to Chelsea.

The German media were extremely disappointed with Bayern, and many newspapers even used the headline "The End of German Football".

German football is not as competitive as the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga. Bayern Munich is the unique boss in German football. Even if it is occasionally surpassed by other teams in the league, it is just due to mistakes or the team's occasional poor performance. In the overall situation, Bayern deserves to be the boss, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the number one team in Germany.

But now, this so-called No. 1 team in Germany was defeated 2:5 at home by the emerging leader of the Premier League. This result is unacceptable to most German media and fans.

In order to balance the hearts of these fans, Bayern Munich held a press conference immediately after the game. Head coach Magath made a public statement saying: "Our game with Chelsea is not over. This is just the first round. Although there is a gap in the score, we still have the hope of winning and advancing. The current Bayern is one of the best Bayerns in history. We have enough fighting spirit to meet any challenge. Even in the current passive situation, the team has not given up hope. Chelsea, see you at Stamford Bridge."

Felix Magath's speech was very inspiring, but most media thought it was just a self-consolation. Facing a 3-goal deficit, Bayern must score 4 goals at Stamford Bridge and not let Chelsea score in order to advance to the final. This goal is very slim. Bayern has always been balanced in offense and defense, not too focused on offense, and the forward line is not very sharp. The best forwards available to the team are Ilihamidzic, Guerrero, Frings and others. Just looking at their reputation, you can see that they are not very good. Bayern relies more on the support firepower of the midfield to attack.

Therefore, when Ballack is frozen, the entire team's offense will appear weak.

How could such a striker score 4 goals against Chelsea away from home? Besides, no one would believe that they would win 4-0 away after losing 2-5 at home, so Magath's remarks were completely ignored by the reporters.

In this world-renowned battle, the biggest beneficiaries were undoubtedly Wang Li and Joe Cole. In the game, Wang Li scored 4 goals and assisted 1 goal, and all 5 goals were directly related to him. He almost beat Bayern with one blow, which made it impossible for any German fans to call out his name after the game.

"Did you know? Bayern lost 2:5 at home?" A fan was walking and chatting with a friend on the roadside.

"The one against Chelsea?"

"Well, they lost 2:5, which is really embarrassing. I heard that this club is almost gone. They let a young player who is less than 19 years old score 4 goals in one game. I don't know how he played..."

"Is it Alan Wang? When I turned on my computer yesterday, I saw this name all over the sports page."

"Yes, that player is really outstanding. I watched the live broadcast. That kid didn't lose the ball throughout the game. His skills are so good that he made Bayern's defenders run around in circles. Even Lucio couldn't beat him."

"The goal and the promotion were also very exciting. I watched it three times in a row."

………

After the two teams met, the whole of Germany was filled with similar voices, which greatly increased Wang Li's reputation in Germany. Europeans all admire the strong. Although Wang Li himself scored 4 goals against Bayern, which made Bayern fans somewhat indignant, these fans were privately full of love for Wang Li. A super efficient striker is indeed easy to be loved by fans.

Joe Cole, who scored another goal, also benefited greatly. Before, when many people mentioned Chelsea, they could only think of a few stars such as Wang Li, Lampard, John Terry, and Makelele. Now, Joe Cole has become their topic of discussion. His goal was even labeled as the "goal that changed the situation in this game" by many media. After the game, Kicker gave Joe Cole a high score of 7.5 points. He was the highest-scoring player after Wang Li.

It can be said that this game is much more popular than the match between Chelsea and AC Milan. The main reason is that this is already the semi-final of the Champions League and it is a rare match between the Bundesliga leader and the Premier League champion, which has attracted more attention to the game.

Under such attention, fans all over the world witnessed Wang Li's wonderful performance. He almost single-handedly changed Chelsea's passive situation and helped the team win a big away game that is rare in the Champions League. At this time, all the fans and reporters had the same idea - I'm afraid another football king is about to be born.

Fans really enjoy talking about this.

There are only two people in history who can be called the king of football - Pele in the 1960s and Maradona in the 1980s.

In addition to these two, history has produced many superstars, such as Cruyff, Bobby Charlton, and the Dutch Three Musketeers. There are also many shocking stars in active service, such as Ronaldo, Zidane, and Beckham. However, even though these stars are very strong, and even though some of them have won the World Cup, it is difficult for them to become the "king of football" in the hearts of fans.

The title of "King of Football" is specific, and the requirement is that one must have the ability to change the game with personal performance in extremely important games. Obviously, this is something that most stars do not have. If they are placed in an ordinary team, the performance of that team may not be much better. This is the difference between a star and a King of Football.

However, Wang Li has this ability. His personal skills are so perfect that he rarely makes mistakes throughout the game. Every time he touches the ball, he can give fans a magnificent visual feast. This is recognized by all fans.

In short, after the game, the English media, German media, ancient Eastern media and media from many other countries all made detailed reports on the game. They were very generous in praising Chelsea and Wang Li, and they were almost using up all the praise in various languages.

The European media have already thought about how much honor Wang Li will get after the end of this season.

If Chelsea can win the UEFA Champions League, Wang Li will almost certainly be the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year. In terms of strength and performance, other players have no competitiveness at all.

The 19-year-old World Footballer of the Year will surprise everyone just by thinking about it

From this point of view, the English Football Association is obviously the happiest because this superstar belongs to England.

In the second half of the 20th century, when football was developing rapidly around the world, English football, as the birthplace of football, had been in decline.

Now, when English football has developed and is about to catch up with the world's top level, England has produced an extremely outstanding Alan Wang, which has made the English Football Association, English fans and various media to praise Wang Li as the savior.

With the World Cup in Germany about to open, England badly needs a World Cup title to comfort their broken hearts.

On the second day after the game, after introducing the entire process of the game, The Sun commented: "This was a great game, a victory for Chelsea, and a victory for English football. In the game, we witnessed the strength of a football star - Alan Wong, an Englishman born and raised in North London. He is the strongest striker in the world today. No one can question this conclusion, because not only did he perform very well in the game, his statistics were also extremely gorgeous. In this season's Champions League, he has scored 23 goals for the team. 23 goals, what a gorgeous number! Even if he doesn't score goals from now on, he will definitely become this year's Champions League top scorer, there is no doubt about it"

The Sun has always been a supporter of Chelsea and Wang Li. This time they did not hesitate to praise Wang Li, but what they said were real things.

In the Chelsea team, Wang Li is now not only an offensive core, the most important scoring point, but also a pillar of the team. It can be said that as long as Wang Li is on the court, Chelsea players will be full of fighting spirit, because they believe that Wang Li will definitely score goals and the team will definitely win.

This is an absolute trust and also a will of belief.

The first sentence of the Spanish newspaper AS was: "Real Madrid must buy him, the English dance master must belong to Real Madrid"

"AS" pointed out: "Alan Wang is the best striker in the world, he is the only one. As long as he can be brought to Madrid, defeating Barcelona will become easy. Real Madrid has been trying to introduce superstars, and Alan Wang is obviously the best among these superstars. Even Ronaldo at his peak was not at the level of Alan Wang. If he comes to Real Madrid, he will definitely become the pillar of the Galacticos for the next 10 or even 15 years."

On the contrary, Spain's Mundo Deportivo thinks Barcelona should fight for this powerful superstar in the summer. "Barcelona is a team that advocates offense. Our offense has always been the best in the world, but the lack of Alan Wang will make this statement a joke. Alan Wang is undoubtedly the most offensive player in the world and the striker with the highest goal efficiency. As the team with the best offensive ability in the world, Barcelona needs him."

On the other hand, the Italian media were not surprised by Wang Li's performance. In their view, it was natural for a player who could score three goals for AC Milan in a game to score four goals against Bayern away from home.

In terms of defense, AC Milan is definitely the best in the world, at least one level higher than Bayern. From this perspective, it is normal for a genius who can score 3 goals against AC Milan to score 4 goals against Bayern. So after the game, Gazzetta dello Sport just said sourly: "AC Milan's loss is not unfair. The opponent has such an outstanding striker. Our defense is difficult to work in front of him. The best way to deal with such a player is to bring him to San Rossi."

It is not difficult to hear the bitterness of the Italian media from their words. They are still obsessed with the last battle between Chelsea and AC Milan.

So far this season, Chelsea has created a miracle. As a team that has never won the Champions League, they are still on a winning streak in the Champions League and have not encountered any trouble so far.

After qualifying from the group, Chelsea had the worst schedule. Their first opponent was Barcelona from Spain, but surprisingly, they beat them 2:0 away from home and they were no less impressive at home. Although there was a crisis, they escaped with no danger. Then there was AC Milan, the absolute giant of Serie A. In the first round at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea beat them 5:2, a score that made Ancelotti a little desperate.

And now, facing Bayern Munich, Chelsea was able to beat them with a big score of 2:5 away from home. If this is the case away from home, it goes without saying that everyone thinks so.

From the round of 16 to the current semi-finals, three opponents, three different records, fans were surprised to find that these three opponents were equally strong, but Chelsea's performance seemed to be getting better and better, and it was getting easier to win.

Just as the French Football newspaper described it after the game: "The Blues of England are so terrible. Their performance is getting better and better, and it is getting easier to beat their opponents. Bayern was attacked at home, and European football is about to change."

In England's "Times", the reporter's report did not mention too much praise for Chelsea. Instead, they talked about the overall situation of the Premier League and the development of the club from another perspective. In the report, they said that the stage of "great development of the Premier League" is about to come.

In just two years since Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich took over Chelsea, Chelsea has become the strongest club in Europe and even the world. It has to be said that this is directly related to the money in the hands of Russians. No matter which player their current achievements rely on, the players are all Chelsea's. Without the pound, these players would not be in Chelsea.

So, for a club, money is very important.

Reporters continued to analyze the reasons for Chelsea's success and finally came to the conclusion that "English football must strive to seek foreign investment if it wants to develop. It is unrealistic to rely solely on British aristocrats to support football. We should not be resistant to these foreign investments, but should strive to seek and welcome them to enter England, so that our football industry can develop faster and better."

Due to the "surprising" victory, this issue of "The Times" sold very well. Many fans were tired of those articles praising Chelsea and Wang Li, but this surprising article made them feel a little bit of novelty.

At this time, the happiest person should be Mr. Glazer in Manchester. As an American and the spokesperson of the Glazer family, his goal this summer is to acquire shares of Manchester United and truly take charge of Manchester United.

In order to complete the acquisition at the lowest cost, Glazer frequently appeared in the media and repeatedly promised that after he joined Manchester United, he would not interfere with the team, would not remove Ferguson as head coach, and would not change anyone in the team's management. This "three no's" guarantee made him encounter much less resistance during the acquisition, but most Manchester United fans resisted him, mainly because he was a real American.

Many Manchester United fans believe that Americans are unreliable and that these businessmen are all vampires. Their purpose in coming to Manchester United is not really to develop football, but more to make money. Black-hearted businessmen will not consider Manchester United's performance, so Glazer's acquisition was not smooth.

However, as soon as the report in The Times came out, the voices of Manchester United fans became much quieter.

There is no fan who doesn't want his or her favorite team to perform well. Just look at the Blues Chelsea in West London. Because of the arrival of Abramovich, the team has a lot more funds and many big-name stars have joined the team. This means that this season, they have suppressed Manchester United and Arsenal and there is no possibility of a comeback.

Why is that? Because they have so many superstars.

As long as there are always new superstars joining the team, the team will always have hope.

Although Manchester United's results are good and every player in the team is a star, the fans know that, at least for now, Manchester United cannot compare with Chelsea.

Therefore, with this mentality, the opposition of Manchester United fans weakened a lot, and the real fan shareholders who sincerely hoped that Manchester United would develop also consciously sold their shares to Glazer, and the American acquisition became unusually smooth.

At this time, Glazer realized that these major British newspapers had a wide influence on the fans. A simple article made his acquisition so much smoother. At the same time, he felt that he had to thank Mr. Abramovich. If Chelsea had not easily defeated Bayern, there would not have been such a result.

Unfortunately, from the moment Glazer planned to acquire Manchester United, he became Chelsea's mortal enemy. At least in front of the public, he dared not say that he had any connection with Mr. Abramovich.
