Fame with a ball

Those young fans who have not experienced the grandeur of the Serie A league in the 8s and 90s are often difficult to like Italian football.Most young people think Italian football is dull and boring, not as passionate as La Liga and the Premier League, and there is a lack of superstars, entertainment information is not developed, gossip about their own stars is not as powerful as the British tabloids.

In fact, it’s not that local Italian reporters are not willing to dig out more gossip about their stars to sell money, but most of the reports they write are not bought by fans. It is said that it is the most difficult league in the world to score goals. The forwards of La Liga and Premier League are used to fast-paced games. If they are asked to play in Serie A, if they can score 30 goals in a season in the Premier League, in Serie A, it is very easy. Maybe not even 20 goals.

In addition, Serie A defenders often "work hard" against the opponent's striker during the game. In recent years, many Italian giants, such as AC Milan and Inter Milan, have more or less suffered financial crises, and their management is not enough. The Premier League and La Liga are so good that many well-known strikers are not willing to play in Italy.

What is the passion of football?It's about attacking.

Only offense can make the fans excited, and only goals can make the fans crazy.In the stadium, the fans are chasing those famous forwards, and outside the stadium, the fans are more willing to see the gossip of the forwards.

Just think about the most famous players in football at present, which one has not attracted the attention of the world because of scoring many goals?Goalkeepers who have achieved the status of Saint Cassie are not counted. Among the midfielders, Piglet Schweinsteiger, Sneijder, Harvey, Xiaofa and others are well-known in the hearts of fans, but in the hearts of non-fans, Not as well-known as Ronaldo Messi and others.

Everyone knows that Harvey is the soul of Barcelona, ​​but why is he nominated for the top three Golden Globes every year and loses to others every year?Because the players who stand behind the scenes and work hard for others will never have the glory of the forwards who stand in front of the stage and score goals.Even now, the standard by which people evaluate Messi and Ronaldo who is stronger is to see which of them scores more goals.

Today's Italian football lacks topical top forwards and is eager for such people.The older generation of superstars such as Baggio, Vieri, Inzaghi, Totti, Del Piero and others retired and transferred, and young stars with hype potential such as Balotelli and others also Not playing in Serie A.After looking around, it seems that there is only one Ibrahimovic in the league who is a bit topical, but the whole world knows that he is a bad boy, and Ibrahimovic wants to go to Barcelona to become a world superstar, but returns to Serie A in despair. This "family slave with three surnames" also made many reporters and fans no longer want to pay attention to him.

Fans don't like watching news about defenders.Covering domestic league forwards who are either too old or tired of being watched by fans.Italian sports reporters are also looking forward to a world-class striker with positive energy and strong topicality in the league!It's just that the speed of the top strikers produced in Serie A is too weak...

When Lin Zhigao first arrived in Serie A, the reporters lacked interest in him-a Chinese, young and immature, not from a serious youth training camp, and was pushed on the bench by Capello for several months just after he transferred , which made many reporters lazily report to Lin Zhigao for attention.

But then, Lin Zhigao's own performance made the reporters more interested in him.The better he plays and the higher his popularity, the more the reporters want to dig deeper into him. If Lin Zhigao can be made into a superstar exclusive to Serie A, that would be even better!But digging and digging, why are there always shortcomings?

The reporters suddenly woke up - ah!Missing point!

If a professional player wants to become a star, in addition to excellent skills and proud honors, they must also have uniqueness in their private life, so that their fame will snowball like a snowball.For example, Ronaldo's personality and flair, Bashen's confusing behavior, Beckham's handsomeness, and his marriage to Victoria...etc.

What topics does Lin Zhigao have that can make reporters make a big fuss?

He doesn't have a girlfriend, so there's no gossip.When a female fan molested him and the Italian goddess Cecily challenged him, the reporters were eager to use the topic to make a fuss, but because of Lin Zhigao's lack of cooperation and some unspeakable reasons, the scandal was hyped up. It's over.

What about scandal?Lin Zhigao does not take drugs, does not hire prostitutes, he does not even smoke or drink too much!Except for raising the middle finger once in his own country's game, he didn't even let the reporters see him swearing!Quirks?He doesn't like to burn his own house for fun when he has nothing to do, and he even claims that he is studying the principle of rocket launch, and he doesn't like to pick his own booger and put it in his mouth.

Mourinho once praised Lin Zhigao to reporters. He was indeed right. Lin Zhigao is a very, very rare good boy in football today-so good that reporters love and hate him.

But in the news world, good boys are not liked by reporters and readers. They love football stars who are always making scandals or jokes.

Just when the reporters wanted to take a slant and dig into Lin Zhigao's growth history, or his friendship with superstar friends, the explosion came!

Lin Zhigao publicly stated in the press release that his goal for the new season is the League Golden Boot!He even mentioned that Juventus will surpass last season's treble!

Although Lin Zhigao said the original words very cautiously, the reporters are not afraid!They have pens and outstanding talents. How about they can completely distort Lin Zhigao's words and change it into "Lin Zhigao's bold words challenge Ibrahimovic"?

Ha, the image of a young and frivolous talented player is ready to emerge!

……

"Lin Zhigao Vows to Win the League Golden Boot" - Turin Sports News

"Ibrahimovic laughed at the challenge of his juniors and said he was fearless" - Gazzetta dello Sport "A war between two world-class strikers? "—Evening Post

Most of the local Italian reporters came to the press conference in person, so they all knew what happened that day, and most of the news they reported revolved around Lin Zhigao's season goals. The best striker Ibrahimovic is linked together, creating some small conflicts between them, if it can cause real conflicts?That would be great, because then, at least for a while, reporters wouldn't have to worry about running out of stuff to write about!

The Milan sports reporter even specifically found Ibrahimovic to stir up the flames. The bad boy Ibrahimovic from Sweden is also very arrogant, but he was not really fooled because of a little provocation from the reporter. He just said, "I am not afraid of any challenge. Come if you want to try."

However, if the news in Italy is still reliable, the reports in other countries are endless. In fact, most of the news circles are like this. When there are not enough reports on the page, news from other leagues is needed to fill in , Some reporters went to the local newspaper headlines to adapt and adapt, and then moved to their own newspapers.

Of course, the content of the manuscript cannot be completely copied, so many reporters add 50% of their own opinions on the basis of 50% of the facts, so the understanding of this matter in other leagues becomes: "Juventus star press conference "Let's go crazy" - World Sports News

"Lin Zhigao: We will be quadruple champions this season" - The Sun

"You must be arrogant when you are young? - L'Equipe

Among them, the German "Kicker" magazine also published a special issue for this purpose, called "Who Ruined Our Young Players?" ", of course, this full five-page feature article cannot be all about Lin Zhigao, but it started with Lin Zhigao, and mentioned a series of football that emerged in the past ten years. And the young talents who disappeared from everyone's sight.

There is such a passage in this report, which is sharp and thought-provoking: "There are always some stars in the football world who became famous at a young age and have amazing talents. Most of them were originally gentle and simple. Brother. But with the passage of time, for some unknown reason, these good children in our eyes have gradually changed."

"Rooney played for the England national team at the age of 16, but the older he got, the more reports he had of prostitutes drinking and beating people. Cassano, the most talented teenager in Italian football, couldn't do without bars and nightclubs. Missed the title of superstar. Who made Anelka, a French genius who became a world-class star at the age of 20, be forgotten by people? Now who remembers England’s national treasure Gascoigne? Kluivert once played in the Champions League final However, the frequent occurrence of scandals prevented him from becoming the second Basten after all..."

"What corrupted the hearts of these young players? What hindered their careers, or even killed them? Is it the reputation of being overwhelmed? Or the mentality of youth and rebellion? The temptation of money and beauty? Or the lack of effectiveness. The self-control? There are so many famous teenagers who develop ups and downs. How many young geniuses are in the corners that our cameras don’t pay attention to? For various reasons, even meteor-like flashes If you don’t have any, you’ll be lost to everyone?”

"When Lin started growing up in the Premier League, we looked at him with doubts and scrutiny for a long time before we had to admit that this is a rare Asian Asian talent. He is young, immature, innocent, lively, Cheerful and hardworking, even British tabloid reporters with extraordinary abilities have to admit that they only saw positive energy in Lin. Then he was transferred to the giants Juventus for 2000 million euros, At that time, we all admired and said: There is finally another talented boy with superstar potential in football."

"However, the buzzing reports circulating in Italy these days tell us that the simple and lively crystal boy who once became famous from England has also changed. In the first game after the start of the league, he claimed the league Golden Boot Is it in my pocket to win the four championships? This is simply the most conceited and arrogant sentence in football this year!"

"We seem to be able to see that what has happened to many young talents seems to be repeated at this moment. This is a painful process, and it will bring sad consequences in the future. Such accidents occur frequently in football. , is enough to make each of us think deeply - how can we save our young geniuses from dying?"

……

The special issue of Germany's "Kicker" caused a strong shock in the world football. Newspapers and magazines in more than 50 countries reprinted this special issue, from South America, North America, Oceania, to Lin Zhigao's hometown Asia , Fans and reporters discussed and recalled those young geniuses who were short-lived on the court, and then had to be shocked again and again: the death rate of young and famous stars is too high!

Moreover, because Messi was taken to La Masia at the age of 13, it is too typical to become a world superstar in the end. More and more wealthy teams have begun to encourage football prodigies-before, 20- Players are only signed by the club at the age of 24 and are called rookies.But now, teenagers aged 10-14 are the most important targets for major clubs, because investing in football prodigies, once they make a fortune, the profits are unparalleled and astonishing.

Many people began to think deeply that teenagers should be the age when teenagers enjoy the joy of sports and feel the beauty of youth. It is also an important period for forming a person's outlook on life. The temptation of him, then how likely is it that he won't turn bad?I'm afraid this is the source of many hopeful stars in football losing their motivation to fight early, or even falling down!

Perhaps even the Italian journalists who first instigated the whole incident did not think of why a few reports could trigger such a chain reaction?Their original intention was just to make Lin Zhigao's original healthy and positive image a little more proud and conceited!

But even more bewildered than these reporters was Lin Zhigao.

Calls from reporters from more than 40 newspapers, more than [-] interview invitations, and sports newspapers in dozens of countries have mentioned my name, but more than half of them are pessimistic and negative speculations and evaluations.

Crowds of reporters crowded Lin Zhigao's villa and outside the training ground, and the security guards couldn't catch up with them. Capello declared angrily: "I won't let you face reporters' questions alone anymore! It depends on you. The trouble I'm looking for!"

The text messages between John and Messi kept ringing, and even the teammates in the locker room touched his head and asked: Lin, did you do something bad behind our backs?

Even Lin Changan called from China, saying that there were many comments on the Internet claiming that Lin Zhigao would also be "destroyed". Lin Changan wanted to know what "was destroyed" meant?He clearly felt that his son was normal.

Lin Zhigao felt that he was more normal.

In fact, he wondered if everyone except himself was insane.

Fortunately, he also has an all-round agent. Under Jiang Shupeng's investigation, Lin Zhigao finally figured out what kind of oolong incident this was: an Italian reporter wanted to hype up his own news-accidentally poked a foreign The G-spot of the media—everyone started to group HIGH—the reporter of "Kicker" was too excited and wrote an article that was too sensational, which caused a large-scale sensation and reposting—everyone felt that Lin Zhigao was about to turn bad!

Lin Zhigao rubbed his nose and called John: "Do you think I'm going to become a football bad boy?"

John thought for a moment and asked, "Which is bad?"

Lin Zhigao said aggrievedly: "They all say that I will become Rooney and Cassano second."

"You won't become like them, Lin." John comforted him with a gentle tone: "First of all, you don't have exhibitionism, and you are much more handsome than Cassano. And you are not fat, judging by the thickness of your hair Density, not to mention baldness in the next 20 years, not even a single gray hair will appear."

"I'm not talking about appearance! I'm talking about character and quality, such as drinking too much, going to nightclubs and recruiting prostitutes..."

"Are you referring to the reporters who have been buzzing like flies lately?" John raised his eyebrows lightly. "Oh, they'll be fine, I promise."

Lin Zhigao asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do to them?"

"A little warning, don't worry, it won't be too much." John said casually, and then began to change the subject: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you have those qualities, I will like it just the same."

"You like me drinking?"

"Actually, you are cuter after drinking a little wine. You are drunk and bold." John smiled with deep meaning.

Lin Zhigao blushed for a moment, then curled his lips: "I hit someone, swearing?"

"That would make you look more masculine. Believe me, Lin, I'd be more offended if you curled your orchid fingers like a girl."

Lin Zhigao made up his mind about his sissy scene, and then couldn't help shaking: "What about recruiting prostitutes? You can't accept this."

John laughed even worse: "There are free ones here, why are you willing to find those that cost money?"

Touching his hot cheeks, Lin Zhigao was extremely glad that this was just a phone call!

……

After the daily training, the Real Madrid dressing room.

Kaka wanted to ask Ronaldo to borrow a clean towel, but he didn't know where to throw his own. Ronaldo was still taking a shower inside, and agreed casually.Kaka opened the door of Ronaldo's locker, but before he saw the towel, a pile of turned-up newspapers fell out of it.

After finding a clean towel to wipe her dripping hair, Kaka sat on the bench and looked down at the newspapers—English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and even French and German.

As for the content of the newspaper?It is a hot topic in the dressing room of Real Madrid today.

But everyone didn't know that Ronaldo hid such a bunch of things in his cabinet, even Kaka didn't know, because when everyone was discussing Lin Zhigao, Ronaldo kept silent most of the time, everyone I thought he wasn't interested.

Not long after, Ronaldo also came out of the shower.

At this moment, only the two of them were left in the locker room, and everyone else had gone home.Kaka held up a newspaper and asked: "Cris"

With the tacit understanding between the two, even if Kaka didn't say it, Ronaldo knew what he was asking.

But Ronaldo just shook his head, sat next to Kaka, and took a sip of water.

Kaka observed his expression, and asked cautiously: "Does he remind you of yourself?"

Ronaldo nodded lightly: "You know how they judged me before."

When Ronaldo first had negative press, journalists used words like "arrogant and defiant" to represent him.The media's crazy hype and smears have really convinced many people that Cristiano Ronaldo is an upstart who is conceited, shows off, and enjoys crazily as soon as he gets rich.

When he transferred to Real Madrid, greater fame brought more slander, and there were more tricks. During the worst days of Ronaldo's reputation, he was portrayed as a person with a bad personality, arrogant, conceited, playful, romantic, and a corrupt private life.People who didn't know him at that time said-Cristiano Ronaldo is a real dick, but he always fantasizes that he is rich and handsome.

"But they also learned that you are real." Kaka comforted him: "You still came to train with dedication after the crash, and your hard work and persistence finally moved them. The truth has not been erased, it is just Temporarily covered up."

"But that doesn't mean that the previous insults didn't exist." Ronaldo looked at Kaka: "They will always be there."

Kaka was silent.

Ronaldo pointed to the pile of newspapers and said: "Now, someone else is going to suffer the same fate as me. I know how they operate this procedure. When you are caught by them, you will be covered in blood all over your body." Wrong place."

Kaka smiled: "Now you are finally willing to admit that you belong to the same country? You won't be unhappy when you mention it like before?"

Ronaldo rolled his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Everyone is different, Cris." Kaka said: "Although Lin is as real as you, maybe his situation won't change as badly as you did before? He is a lucky person, I can Feel it. And, I know, you don't want him to be vilified, do you?"

"No." Ronaldo said "strongly": "I hope that the more unlucky he is, the better. He has to taste this feeling to know what to say to the reporters and what not to say!"

"Come on, you're duplicity."

"I do not have!"

"You have." Kaka said with a smile: "I know there are still a few reporters waiting outside. They won't leave the stadium until they see us. Maybe we can give Lin some help."

Ronaldo stood up and put on his clothes, and said blankly, "I don't want it."

"you will."

"impossible!"

"I know you will."

Ronaldo turned and walked out of the locker room.

……

Under John's friendly "sponsorship", Juventus officials held a huge press conference for Lin Zhigao.

Before the press conference, the public opinion of the media has actually changed a little.

First of all, there are rumors in the Juventus locker room. Many players have claimed that Lin Zhigao is not a big talker. In fact, what he said at the press conference was normal and normal, but some unscrupulous media deliberately misinterpreted it.

Then, the three football heavyweights, Capello, Messi, and Ronaldo, were rarely interviewed by their local reporters.

Facing the microphones of the reporters, Messi said with certainty: "I know what kind of person Lin is. In fact, we often talk or send text messages now, and the frequency is about once every two days? If there is a change in his personality, Why didn't I know? From the time I met him to the present, Lin has been an honest person who can't be more honest. His nightlife is even more boring than mine. He will definitely not become Cassano No. 2, this is I can vouch for it on my reputation."

Capello: "Stop your messy speculations and some malicious thoughts. I saw the press conference from beginning to end that day. I think my player said that his goal is the league Golden Boot. This is normal, note the 'goal', not the fact that he has claimed the golden boot. Also, the quadruple? Isn't that a normal expectation. We won the treble because of last season Wang, you can only set your goal on one championship or two championships this season?"

Ronaldo's answer is the shortest and sharpest one: "If you are already thinking about why talented players fall, then all shut up. At least I know that if you continue to discuss Lin like this, it will be because you are too high. attention and ruined him."

I won’t go into details about the process of the press conference. In short, after the press conference, the representatives of Germany’s “Kicker” left the venue in dismay without saying hello to any of their colleagues—because they, who have always claimed to be rigorous, did not report The truth of the matter was thoroughly investigated, and an annual drama was concocted. This is too embarrassing for my wife!They will definitely be laughed to death by journalists from Britain and France!

As for the Italian journalists?

Their feelings were similar to those of the German journalists, and their annoyance was even deeper: they didn't thoroughly investigate Lin Zhigao's background, and started to hype for their own entertainment?

God, it's a good thing they stopped in time, otherwise, they would really have to see God.
