Fame with a ball

"It's Lin! He evened the score for the team again!"

"Just now, Juventus' opponent Palermo in the Coppa Italia semi-finals was still temporarily leading with a score of 2:1. In the 58th minute of the game, Juventus made a substitution adjustment, Iaquinta went off, Verratti came on, and Capello's substitution immediately had an immediate effect, because he established a channel for Lin Zhigao to transport ammunition!"

"Just less than 5 minutes after Verratti came on the field, Juventus launched an offensive! Verratti sent a long pass from the front of the midfield, and Lin Zhigao succeeded in grabbing points with the Palermo defender at the front of the penalty area. Accidentally fell down, but before falling to the ground, he shoveled the ball with his right leg and scored the ball into the far corner of the goal, rewriting the score to a 2:2 tie!"

"This is Lin's second goal in this game, he scored twice again!"

"Palermo is a very tenacious opponent, and they also have a great desire to advance. This can be seen from the fact that Palermo led Juventus twice in the game. This team is playing very hard. But it is a pity that what they encountered was not Juventus in the depression period, but a Juventus that is returning to its peak state, a Juventus with a striker like Lin Zhigao!"

"The huge capital injection of the Chinese consortium has failed to save Inter Milan's decline in recent years. The reasons are quite complicated. It is an indisputable fact that the top players in football are yearning for the Premier League and La Liga, but Inter Milan executives should also reflect on themselves. Is there a mistake in the business strategy? Berlusconi, the owner of AC Milan, is increasingly "focusing on money". AC Milan's transfer this summer must be a big problem. I hope he will not sell many meritorious players. Tus is currently the team in the best situation. It is full of vigor, momentum, and good financial situation. If there are two seasons in the next few years, the three-legged Serie A structure is estimated to be the biggest challenge. .”

"FIFA, an internationally renowned data research company, recently issued a survey on the comparison of the scoring efficiency of the new generation of football stars in the club. Lin Zhigao ranked first in Juventus with an average of 1.3 goals per game. ; Shinji Kagawa is currently playing in the midfield position at Manchester United, scoring quite a few goals, but he used to be in Dortmund, and his scoring efficiency was 0.46 per game; due to injuries, Gotze rarely plays now, so the rate is also low. Only 0.21; perhaps only Neymar’s scoring data in the Brazilian league can be compared with Lin’s, but when he was at the Santos Club’s most glorious time, the scoring rate was only 0.85. But don’t forget, Neymar is now in Barcelona. Played 11 games, only scored two goals, one of which was a penalty, and his scoring efficiency was less than 0.2 per game!"

"According to FIFA data, Lin Zhigao's current scoring efficiency has reached the standard of a top striker in European football! If he can continue to maintain this scoring state for a few years, the era of three-legged rivalry in European football, I think coming soon!"

With five goals in two games, Lin Zhigao ended his suspension and resumed his previous crazy scoring momentum. Many Serie A teams shouted: "Wolf is coming!"

And the media also spoke highly of him: "The third goal-scoring machine in football has been born!" "Another phenomenal player! And considering Lin's Asian background, he can achieve his current status. The significance is really extraordinary, before him, which Asian player can be put together with our top strikers? No!"

"Turino Sport" reporter Philip Gabriel recently wrote a passage in the report that is particularly interesting: "In my opinion, Lin is a very stubborn player. His persistence lies in his desire to score goals. Lin It seems that he really wants to keep the record of scoring goals in every game. Even if he is suspended or substituted, Lin will work hard to score more goals in future games, even if he has scored more goals than before. Those who didn’t score will be made up for. Now when I watch Juventus games, I always have to count how many times Lin played and how many goals he scored. By the way, guess what he can bring us in the next game. What a surprise..."

Although Serie A is famous for its defense, they can still play beautiful offensive football occasionally-Italy is recognized as the country with the highest tactical literacy in the world, and it produces famous coaches everywhere. At present, they are still active, such as Capet Ronaldo, Lippi, Ancelotti, Mancini, Prandelli, etc. Although the Serie A games seem boring to young fans, older fans are more in pursuit of Serie A because of the tactics of the game. The gold content is relatively high.

Since last season, in order to defeat Juventus, many teams have frequently changed their tactics in the game, from intensive defense to defensive counterattack, and then to trying to attack, trying to stop Juventus' winning streak. It is to contribute a wonderful game to the Serie A fans, which makes them hooked.

But starting from this season, first small teams such as Chievo and Pescara, and then to traditional strong teams in Serie A such as Roma and Udinese, when they played against Juventus, they all put up turtle formations. Not to mention getting more and more monotonous, the style of play has gradually become boring, which is to defend, defend, and defend again.At this moment, the fans want to yell again-can you be more up-to-date?We don't want to watch the one-sided massacre!

……

After another round of the league, Lin Zhigao, who had not been interviewed by reporters for a long time, finally sat in the hall of the press conference.

When several Chinese reporters saw him, they were so excited that they almost cried——Lin Zhigao’s current actions are all mysterious. On average, they can only see this “national treasure” once in dozens of days. If there is no interview, there will be no material. If there is no good news, the reporters can only make up some nonsense reports, or copy the news from foreign newspapers and go back to fool the domestic fans, but the domestic fans are not stupid. Now that the Internet is so developed, what truth can they not discover? The hats of "wine bags and rice bags", "vegetarian meals in corpses" and "running abroad with taxpayers' money and not doing any business at all!" were all put on by this group of reporters, and these reporters could only complain to each other: "The high salary of foreign reporters , it’s not easy for us to take it.”

Every reporter wanted to ask Lin Zhigao a lot of questions, but the ones they put first were naturally questions about Chinese football.

That's right, the national football team has another controversial issue.

Since the national team confirmed the qualification for the World Cup group stage, the Chinese people can be said to be talking about the "World Cup". Can he make it to the knockout stage in the World Cup?" and "How many goals will Lin Zhigao score against his opponent?"

Of course, "Will the Chinese team be abused by the host to become N: 0" is also one of the hot topics, but it is too unlucky to say that the team will fail before playing a game, and this topic has been selectively ignored by many netizens. (Unfortunately, in the Brazil World Cup group match, China and the host Brazil were placed in the same group, and the other two teams in the same group were Denmark and Cameroon)

Three days ago, the Chinese national team announced the 2014-man roster for the 21 World Cup in Brazil. Zhao Xuri, Gao Lin, Shenhua selected Feng Renliang, Guoan selected Yu Yang, Wang Xiaolong and so on.The national team will also summon these players to start training at the Xi'an Sheraton Hotel in May, and then go to Brazil collectively in early June.

Unexpectedly, after the big list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in domestic public opinion.Because Camacho chose the entire lineup that participated in the Asian qualifiers a year ago. In the past two years, there were not a single young player with potential and ability in the Chinese Super League. Not only that, but there were actually four players in the 21-man roster. They are all 30+.

Immediately, some fans posted on the Internet: "Camacho actually used this group of old guys even to participate in the World Cup? Is he picking up junk? Who is the worst in the Chinese Super League? Whoever he uses!"

1: Landlord +1.In the previous Asian qualifiers, Camacho just chose someone randomly, this is the World Cup!A group of old, weak and disabled soldiers went to Brazil last time. Is he going to play a game, or is he traveling at public expense and embarrassing?

2: Seeing XX on the list, I am desperate...

3: There is no front waist at all.Why can't I see the front waist?

4: I don’t know if anyone has noticed that the 21-man rosters of other countries are arranged in the order of forwards, midfielders, and defenders. How come our country is special and is arranged according to clubs?There are actually 8 of them belong to Evergrande... How much money is this compared to who?

5: Don’t be so many upstairs. Evergrande’s players are actually quite good, but the players Camacho wants are too unreliable. There is no young main force. Why are there still 30-year-old guys among the players? ?

6: Reorganize a national team with other eliminated Chinese Super League players. Believe me, it will definitely be a hundred times stronger than this one.

7: The training place is actually the Sheraton Hotel?I'm so rich!

8: These are the people who are selected for mobilizing teachers, mobilizing people, and wasting money?Why does Lin Zhigao's name feel so funny when it's crowded with them? It's better to remove Lin Zhigao and let Zhao Benshan kick it, it's all a fool anyway!

Regarding the strong opposition from netizens, the national team actually has something to say.Camacho said in an interview with reporters afterwards: "The reason for selecting these players is that most of them cooperated with Lin Zhigao in the previous Asian qualifiers, and they played very well in the qualifiers. Therefore, I believe that the national team players can also perform well in the World Cup in Brazil! Therefore, after discussion with our coaching staff, we decided not to change the original national team lineup. Everyone must have confidence in us!"

These empty words of Camacho obviously cannot win the trust of domestic fans. The discussion in professional football forums should still be heated: "Uncle Ka is talking nonsense with his eyes open. Can the qualifiers be compared with the World Cup?"

"Just keep talking nonsense! Do you think our fans are easy to deceive? The main players are these old guys again, and it's not because of the amount of money they stuffed!"

"Are they using their tacit cooperation with Lin Zhigao as an excuse? Lin Zhigao is determined to lie down!"

"Uncle Ka is actually quite pitiful. He is not the one who collects the money, but if something happens and he is pushed to the front of the stage and scolded, it must be the head coach who didn't run away!"

"Anyway, I'm not optimistic about this year's Chinese team."

"This is how I interpret the 21-man roster - there can only be one tall, rich and handsome man in the diaosi team. This spot has now been taken by Lin Zhigao, so..."

Domestic reporters have already interviewed all the officials from the General Administration and the players from the national team. The Football Association officials avoided talking about how the 21-man roster was selected. Whenever the reporter asked sharp questions, they would pull Lin Zhigao came out as a shield.The players of the national team said to the camera one by one that they were "very honored to be able to play for the country in the World Cup in Brazil", and if some fans @ them on Weibo, ask them "how many red envelopes have they donated?" ?”, the speed at which Weibo deleted comments made people feel that there were staff sitting on the computer 24 hours a day, just to monitor some fans who made violent remarks.

But Lin Zhigao's friend, Huang Bowen, said awkwardly when interviewed by reporters: "I hope we can achieve good results in the World Cup, but I also know that some things cannot be forced..."

So far, there is only one Lin Zhigao in the national team who has not been caught by reporters, so when he appeared at the press conference, he immediately ignited the emotions of the Chinese reporters, and they even squeezed all the foreign reporters into a corner , one by one stretched out their microphones and raised them in front of Lin Zhigao, impatiently asking their own questions.

Regarding this, Lin Zhigao just shrugged his shoulders and said: "The list is in agreement, if you have any questions, you shouldn't ask me."

"But these people are the teammates who will fight alongside you. If they are not good enough, do you think their strength can be fully displayed in the World Cup?"

In fact, Lin Zhigao also considered such a problem after the national team list was released.Because as early as in the qualifiers, he discovered the problems of the national team-they were too loose in the midfield, and they couldn't organize the attack in time, and the passes for him were neither too many nor accurate. To attack, Lin Zhigao had to steal, pass, and even pass the whole field to shoot alone. It was a three-in-one defender, midfielder, and forward.Especially when the game was about to end, some veterans of the national team simply couldn't stand and run. It was really the right time, place and people who got together, and China qualified from the Asian region for the first time.

The reason why the Chinese team’s 10+1 game mode has been safe is because most of the teams in the Asian region are not strong. They have never met the most powerful Japanese team, so it’s okay to play like this, but the World Cup , that is the game with the highest gold content, the most intense competition and the cruelest. Can this model of the Chinese team continue to be popular?

Lin Zhigao also hoped that when the national team played in the World Cup, they would not seek good skills, but they could also change their blood and gather a team of young players with sufficient physical fitness, so that they could have a chance to fight in the World Cup, but... Now Lin Zhigao can only let out a long sigh, and hope that when he arrives in Brazil in June, his teammates won’t collapse until the second half. The whole world watched the game and thought that Chinese men were "no good"!

However, no matter how rich his inner world is, Lin Zhigao cannot tell these words to the reporters. He can only say the official speech that Jiang Shupeng has prepared for him: "I still have a certain tacit understanding with the teammates of the national team. Yes, as for other deficiencies, I hope to make up for them through training during the training camp before the World Cup."

"In the group stage, the national team will meet the host Brazil. Do you think China can make a breakthrough in this game?"

"I'm quite confident about this." Lin Zhigao smiled slightly.The Brazilian team's midfield and forward line are terrifying, but the defense?Although the lineup can also be called luxurious, but always like to hold back the Brazilian team at critical moments, such as the finals of the London Olympics in 12.

Lin Zhigao answered one question after another, and Lin Zhigao became more and more headache, but the reporters rarely caught him once, and obviously refused to let him go prematurely——Lin Zhigao suddenly had a kind of "I'm done with this World Cup, I won't do it again." I won’t get mixed up with you!” Thoughts.

……

When Lin Zhigao came home, John was sitting on the sofa looking at his laptop screen, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and there was a steaming dinner in the dining room.

"Are we together?" Lin Zhigao prepared a knife and fork.

"No, I already ate it while cooking, you can eat it yourself." John typed on the keyboard with a focused expression: "Now I have to work."

"Okay, work comes first." Lin Zhi shrugged his shoulders, ate his own, then cleaned the dishes and tidied up the kitchen.

After drinking and eating, Lin Zhigao was ready to take a bath. Before entering the bathroom, he glanced at the living room. John buried himself in several documents, read them for a while, and then began typing on the keyboard.

Half an hour later, he came out of the bathroom, and John's posture was exactly the same as half an hour ago.

Lin Zhigao was lying on the sofa watching TV, but because the volume was turned up too loud, John drove him to the bedroom, where there was a second TV.

After 90 minutes, Lin Zhigao finished watching a game. During commercial time, he went to the bathroom to use the toilet while John was working.

Another hour later, the boring TV series made Lin Zhigao feel drowsy. He yawned and walked to the living room. John was still working.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Lin Zhigao leaned on the door frame and asked.

"Work." John said without looking up.

Annoying job, damn job.

While complaining in his heart, Lin Zhigao changed into pajamas and rolled onto the bed, closing his eyes.

a sheep.

a hundred sheep.

a thousand sheep.

After 20 minutes, Lin Zhigao opened his eyes annoyed, he didn't feel sleepy at all.He turned over and looked in the direction of the living room, where the orange light was still on.

Lin Zhigao couldn't help getting up and walking to the living room: "What is the job that is so important that it is worth your all-night work?"

"It's not a very important job." John's voice was also a little tired, because he had been working for more than ten hours in a row.

"It's not important?" Lin Zhigao raised his eyebrows: "Are you afraid that I will eat you, so you would rather stay in the living room and work than go back to your room?"

John glanced at him helplessly, took off his glasses, and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "I'm prepaying for the workload in two months' time, and I need to solve them as soon as possible, so that I have time to accompany you back home, even to Brazil."

"You want to accompany me to the World Cup?!" Lin Zhigao himself had a big oolong, blushing with embarrassment: "I, I thought..."

"Think I'm cheating on you, and the object is work?"

Lin Zhigao coughed awkwardly, but was choked by his own saliva, and the fake cough suddenly turned into a real cough.

John closed the computer, stood up, walked over to pat him on the back, and smiled helplessly: "I assume you like my arrangement?"

Lin Zhigao said truthfully: "I like it very much, but I am worried that my parents don't like it."

"I also think they won't like it." John raised his eyebrows: "But we can't hide it from them forever."

Lin Zhigao nodded. In fact, he thought so too. His parents have the common problem of all Chinese parents, that is, since the children became adults, they began to worry about their relationship and marriage. Now the initiative is in the hands of him and John. It was better than being caught off guard by a surprise attack by Lin Changan and Qian Hongyan two years later.

"Before I go back to China, I will call my parents to report. As for what will happen to us after we go home..." Lin Zhigao scratched his head: "To be honest, I don't know."

"Lin." John frowned suddenly.

"what?"

"Although I saw your parents last time, they are a very kind Chinese couple, but I still want to ask." John's expression became very strange: "They don't know much about Chinese Kung Fu, like Bruce Lee ?”

Lin Zhigao burst into laughter immediately: "Do you look at me like someone with kung fu?"

"Isn't it popular among you Chinese people to hide your secrets?" John spread his hands helplessly: "I don't think I'd be surprised if you can jump into other people's yards with a sudden jump one day."

"Don't worry, my parents absolutely don't know any kung fu, my dad can do Tai Chi at most." Lin Zhigao pouted his lips and touched his chin: "It's more likely that my mother will chase you with a broom .”

John's face immediately became very exciting.
