Fame with a ball

Beating Manchester United once can be said to be a coincidence.But two consecutive victories over Manchester United are enough to make everyone focus on the non-rich team of Queens Park Rangers.

Owen occupied half of the pages of all newspapers after the game, and the remaining half was reserved for Queens Park Rangers and Lin Zhigao.

When fighting against the powerful Manchester United, he was able to perform a hat-trick, and he is currently firmly leading the Premier League's scorer list, which is enough for Lin Zhigao to attract the attention of all scouts and most club managers.

"Lin will definitely not belong to OPR next season" - "Observer" said in the post-match news report: "Without Lin's turning out, Queens Park Rangers' performance this season must be a mess. This is not nonsense Nonsense, but there is evidence to be found. Queens Park Rangers are currently ranked third in the standings, with a goal difference of 3, which is almost the worst figure in the top ten of the standings-and their season All goals scored was 25 and goals conceded was 22. Lin scored 22 of the goals scored, or 88 per cent."

"If they don't have Lin this season, they have to get rid of these 22 goals. The best estimate is that the team's goal difference is also around -20. If it is successful, Queens Park Rangers are currently troubled. It's not about whether to qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League. They will fight for relegation again, and maybe if they are not careful, they will fall back to the English Championship and start over. You know, Birmingham, who were relegated last season, Black Pu, West Ham have performed very well in the Championship this season, and they are very hopeful to return to the Premier League."

"In fact, these are not the main reasons. What is fatal to Queens Park Rangers is that the short-sightedness of the club chairman prevents them from introducing a new player for a whole year, even if the team's performance is so good now. , and no. It is conceivable that the club's top management must be putting all the team's hope of scoring goals on Lin Zhigao at this time. And the better Lin performs, the more dangerous the Queens Park Rangers next season will be, because there will be There are countless scouts who will approach the club and Lin, wanting to take him away. If you have to choose between a big team or a big team, and QPR who don't want to make progress, I think all the smart people will know How to make your own decision."

The news of the "Observer" was booed by all Queens Park Rangers fans, and some radical fans even stood at the gate of the newspaper with banners, shouting: "Lin will not leave us!"

And when a reporter went to interview Lin Zhigao's plan, Lin Zhigao's attitude was very clear, he didn't want to leave the club yet.Queens Park Rangers coach Warnock meant the same thing as Lin Zhigao. He even tore the "Observer" to pieces in front of reporters to express his anger.

However, compared with the resolute attitude of the players and the head coach, the meaning of the club's top management is very ambiguous. The club's top management, Mr. Fernandez, who is in charge of transfer matters, said to the reporter who interviewed him: "Lin's performance on the field in the past six months. His wonderful performance is inseparable from the club's careful training of him. As early as when he signed with the club, everyone expected that he would bring huge benefits to the team..."

When the reporter asked Fernandez whether the interest referred to money or the honor of the team, the Malaysian businessman smiled ambiguously: "We have cultivated a superstar for the Premier League, can't we ask for more? Yes , There is already an offer for Lin from a club - who are you asking? No, no, no, I can't tell you, it's a secret. But what I can say is that the price looks very good."

When the reporter asked whether the club would sell Lin Zhigao, the Malaysian businessman only said: "For the club, Lin is not for sale at present."

at present?That is, it is very likely to sell him in the future?The reporter consciously dug up big news, so in the new issue of "Observer", the news was "OPR chairman intends to sell Lin Zhigao, admits that there is already a team making an offer for him." When Lin Zhigao saw this report, he just I guessed in my heart whether there would be Wenger's Arsenal among the clubs that made an offer to me, and then put the matter aside.

It was Warnock who tore up this issue of the newspaper again, and cursed a certain Malaysian in the office-this is what everyone in the team heard from the female secretary in Warnock's office.

Another one that is excited about this is the Chinese media.

Although Lin Zhigao is currently playing in the Premier League, Queens Park Rangers are not really a giant, not even a strong team. Countless Chinese fans fantasize that Lin Zhigao can change jobs early, and choosing a family is even more important. Promising clubs to go to.And the giants they imagined for Lin Zhigao, from Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue [-], and La Liga, there are many diehard fans of each giant, and they launched a scolding war on the Internet to compete for which club Lin Zhigao is more suitable for. , extremely lively.

Among them, the fans of Serie A and La Liga are the most powerful. Fans of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all welcome Lin Zhigao to transfer to their favorite clubs. .Occasionally, a Bundesliga and Ligue [-] fan comes out, such as Bayern Munich or Lyon, but they are all photographed by the first two groups.

There is no way, who makes the domestic Serie A fans the largest, and the momentum of La Liga has been the most prosperous in the past two years.

On January 1, in the third round of the FA Cup, Queens Park Rangers will go away to challenge Milton Keynes.

Milton Keynes is a League One team, two tiers behind the Premier League.So even if it was an away challenge, Queens Park Rangers still won it easily, and the score was finally locked at 3:0.Lin Zhigao scored a goal and assisted a goal.

The team successfully advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup, but the fourth round will have to wait until February or March.In the third round of the FA Cup, it is worth mentioning that Manchester City and Manchester United were drawn together in this round. When they knew the result of the draw, almost all the head coaches of the clubs participating in the FA Cup laughed Well, no matter which of these two giants is defeated, it will be a good result for the fisherman.

Since the beginning of this season, Manchester City has a very strong momentum.Although the current league results of Manchester City and Manchester United are 15 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses and 48 points, but because Manchester City's goal difference is 4 more than Manchester United, Manchester City currently leads the standings.

In addition, Manchester City spent a lot of money to buy players during the summer transfer period at the beginning of this season. The lineup is luxurious, so many people before the game are optimistic that Manchester City will beat Manchester United in this Manchester City Derby.

But to the surprise of many people, Manchester United defeated Manchester City after the third round of the FA Cup.It was still Michael Owen who scored the winning goal in this game.

After the game, Irving once again returned to the focus of public attention, and speculation about his current physical condition is even more rampant.Originally, almost all the British media speculated that after the end of the contract between Owen and Manchester United this year, he would directly choose to retire, but judging from Owen's performance in this airport game, there are assists and goals in the better case, and assists in the second case.

Can Irving really play top games for a few more years?When Irving was interviewed by the "Daily Telegraph" reporter after the game, he also admitted that his physical condition was indeed gradually improving. If possible, he wanted to play for a few more years before retiring.

Irving’s personal testimony moved many fans who love him to tears of joy, including many fans in China, and some even posted on Lin Zhigao’s post bar and Lin Zhigao’s fan forum to build tall buildings, hoping that Lin Zhigao can help them come to Irving sign.Some people even asked if they could get a piece of Irving's hair as a souvenir-this is the kind of perverted message.

When Lin Zhigao was bored surfing the Internet, he accidentally wandered into his post bar forum and saw this high-rise building with a height of more than 1 floors. He didn't think that all the fans in his forum were begging for other players' autographs , he was very upset about the idea of ​​something like that.Lin Zhigao is still a relatively generous person.

So when he saw that the building was getting higher and higher, he took the initiative to register an account on the forum for the first time, and left a message under this post: "I have seen everyone's opinions, and I will ask Owen for his signature. I will give it to everyone when I return to China. But the number of people is limited to ten~ BY: Lin Zhigao"

Lin Zhigao originally thought that after he agreed to the fans' request, they would thank him again and again, but what he didn't expect was that after a few minutes, when the web page was refreshed, all the messages to Lin Zhigao were: "Shame on the liar!" Deceive the feelings of our fans!" "If you were Lin Zhigao, Sister Feng would be Little Dragon Girl!"

Lin Zhigao went up dumbfoundingly to explain that he was really himself, but the fans didn't believe it.They didn't believe that Lin Zhigao, who had never appeared on the forum before, and never appeared on the domestic Internet, would actually appear in the fan forum they established themselves. They believed that this was a deliberate prank.

There are also honest and radical fans who privately message Lin Zhigao and say: "If you dare to pretend to be Lin Zhigao to speak casually on the Internet, or even cheat money, we will collectively notify Lin Zhigao's agent and let the police check your IP address and arrest you." Sent to prison!"

Lin Zhigao just wanted to roll up his sleeves and dare them to have a debate, even if he opened a video, he had to prove his authenticity!Unexpectedly, when the page was refreshed again, a notice came: Because your registered account violated the rules, it was canceled.

At that time, Lin Zhigao only felt angry and funny.

Later, Jiang Shupeng found out about this incident somehow, and he called to ask Lin Zhigao if he had registered as a member of his forum and then spoke in it.Lin Zhigao admitted it, and repeated to Jiang Shupeng those fans who didn't believe him. Jiang Shupeng laughed happily, and said to Lin Zhigao: "When you were asked to start a blog, Weibo, or even an official website, you didn't like it. No. Now you are eating your own bitter fruit, right? Haha, no one believes what you said!"

Lin Zhigao hung up the phone depressed.

Two days later, Jiang Shupeng called again and told Lin Zhigao that he had already negotiated with the person who created that fan forum, and that forum would become one of Lin Zhigao's officially recognized fan forums. The registered ID of "Lin Zhigao" was also unbanned again, indicating that this is really an account created by Lin Zhigao himself.

Jiang Shupeng also said that when he mentioned to the administrators of the fan website that the registered ID "Lin Zhigao" in the forum was really Lin Zhigao, those administrators were all taken aback and asked him to explain to Lin Zhigao.

Hearing this, Lin Zhigao was overjoyed. He said that he was very generous and would not regret such a small misunderstanding.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhigao logged into the forum again, only to find that the forum had changed drastically, and the name was changed to "Lin Zhigao Official Fan Forum".And the post that Lin Zhigao replied was also hung high on the top of the homepage by the moderator, and specially marked: This is the evidence that Gao Lego appeared on the Internet for the first time!

Lin Zhigao logged into his account, and immediately the forum mailbox was overwhelmed by thousands of requests to add friends.Clicking on that post, the replies inside have reached [-] floors...and countless netizens deliberately copied Lin Zhigao's reply and his ID, and then replied to this post claiming to have just taken a photo with Lin Zhigao .

Such a terrifying response rate and popularity made Lin Zhigao feel a little complacent and incredible at the same time.To be honest, it has been almost 8 years since he learned to surf the Internet at the age of 10. Lin Zhigao has never experienced such a popular situation on the Internet.It actually kind of scared him.

But Lin Zhigao still loves this forum.Not only fan forums, but he also likes to browse his own Baidu Post Bar and read news about himself from various websites. While satisfying his vanity, he really wants to know how people in China evaluate him.

However, what Lin Zhigao didn't understand was that when he was wandering around the Internet, he would often find some very weird posts with his name written in the post title, and then CPXXX, that XXX was sometimes Van Persie, and sometimes It's Bosroyd, sometimes Owen, sometimes Rooney... (--!) or other people that Lin Zhigao doesn't know very well.

When you click on that kind of post, there are a lot of incomprehensible words in it, or it is a novel with a beautiful writing style but it is incomprehensible anyway. Lin Zhigao can't understand it no matter how he studies it. Going to click on those posts about myself whose names look weird. (Author: Son, you missed an opportunity to know the truth...)

On January 1, in the 15st round of the Premier League, Queens Park Rangers played against Norwich at home.

This is just an ordinary league game. When many fans entered the stadium, they discovered a different side of the game: suddenly there were many Asian faces on the scene.

These new Asian faces are all reporters, and the scale is huge, with a dozen or so individuals.It is almost the total number of reporters who will interview in the ordinary Premier League.

Of course, everyone knew who they were for.

Old Sean was wearing a blue and white striped fan uniform. After entering the arena, he searched for a seat and looked at the extra people and things in the press area.

"Hey, John, look!" Old Sean pointed to a place and said, "Is that a satellite car?"

John followed Old Sean's gaze, and immediately yelled: "It's really a satellite car! Those Chinese, no, the Chinese journalists are really rich... they used a satellite car and dozens of reporters to shoot A normal Premier League game? God, they're not going to do it every game."

"Of course they will." Old Sean found a seat, sat down, and said to John: "I asked the club's doorman, and he said that a group of Chinese reporters found the club a few days ago and asked them to come to the club every game we played. They conduct formal interviews during the team games. As for why they set up a satellite car? I heard it is to better interview Lin, and I also heard that if Lin will still stay in the Premier League next season, their country will Send an entire army for him! There's even a dedicated narrator to serve him!"

John couldn't close his mouth in surprise, but he immediately reacted: "An army? That's impossible! There should be as many reporters as the army! But I still have to sigh, China is really rich."

"It probably has nothing to do with whether they have money or not. It is said that Lin is the best football player in their country, and China is simply a football desert! Because Lin is rare, they will treat them specially."

"That sounds okay... Otherwise, God will cry for their money-burning behavior." John nodded: "But, Old Sean, will Lin stay with the team next season?"

Old Sean didn't even look back: "Of course! Otherwise, where would he go?"

"I've heard that several clubs are already digging the woods."

"But didn't Lin himself say in the interview that he didn't want to leave the club?"

"I'm worried about the money-grubbing Malaysian selling Lim ... you know, if it's expensive, he's really going to do it."

Old Sean frowned: "If he really dares to do this, I will protest in front of his office every day and tell him to get out of the UK!"

"...Okay, okay." John turned his head to look at the field: "I hope everything goes as we wish."

……

In the 21st round of the league, they played against Norwich and won.

In the 22nd round of the league, against Wigan Athletic, the victory.

FA Cup fourth round, against Nottingham Forest, victory.

23 rounds, 24 rounds, 25 rounds...

Queens Park Rangers have maintained an unbeaten streak of six consecutive league games and eight games in a row. They went crazy in the standings and even squeezed out Tottenham. position, and now the team has a full four points more points than No.8 Tottenham, and should be able to occupy the third place in the standings for at least two weeks.

The team was able to achieve six unbeaten results, which made Warnock very happy. With a swipe of the pen, after the 25th round of the league match, the players were given three days off to let them have a good rest. Prepare for the 2th round of the league and the fifth round of the FA Cup at the end of February for the round of 26 knockout matches.

After fighting continuously for half the night, the men of the team with almost no nightlife are about to be suffocated to death.Immediately, those who are looking for wives are looking for wives, those who are looking for girlfriends are looking for girlfriends, and those who have neither wives nor girlfriends get together, discussing what to have fun at night.

Campbell made a sneaky suggestion: "I heard that there is a good nightclub in the east of the city. Let's...hehe."

Bosroyd patted him on the head: "Stupid? If a reporter takes a picture, do you want the boss to shoot us dead?"

"The boss won't shoot us to death, at most he will send us to the reserve team." Lin Zhigao seemed serious, but in fact there was a wicked light in his eyes: "And since I am not yet 18 years old, If you take me away, that’s called abetting crime—do you believe that the boss will spare me and punish you twice?”

Campbell imagined the consequences, and immediately turned gray and gave up his proposal.

Bosroyd rubbed his chin and looked at him: "I said you don't look bad, why don't you find a girlfriend, but think about eating wild food every day?"

Campbell shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face: "Who said I don't want to find a girlfriend, but I just broke up with one, and I have to slowly find the target to find the next one."

"Let's go drinking at night." Bosroyd suggested.

Campbell and Lin Zhigao seconded.Anyway, the three of them are bachelors, and they don't have much activity if they don't go home.

When the three of them walked into the bar they frequented, many people were sitting around the bar watching TV, and a football game was playing on the super-large LCD screen.

After Bosroyd called for a drink, he turned his head and saw the screen: "Spanish national derby? What's the score now?"

A fan sitting in front of him answered him casually: "Barcelona 1:0 Real Madrid, Messi scored the goal."

"Good job!" Campbell cheered: "I like watching Messi play the most!"

Lin Zhigao also knows that the Spanish national derby refers to the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and these two clubs are the top giants in the world. Among them, Barcelona is unanimously called the "cosmic club" by the media because of its super strength in recent years. Team", meaning that Barcelona's level is no longer what the earth should have, so he found a seat and sat down comfortably, ready to watch a game.

But when he cast his eyes on a figure in a blue and red striped shirt on TV, he almost spit out the wine from his mouth.

That, that, is that Messi? !

Lin Zhigao's eyes widened.
