Fame with a ball

During these few days in Paris, Lin Zhigao figured out one thing, that is: it is a very happy thing to be John Elchin's friend.

He will take you to eat the most delicious food in Paris, see the most beautiful scenery, drink the best red wine, and if Lin Zhigao has not repeatedly refused, he will also date the most beautiful woman in Paris for him.

Lin Zhigao once secretly glanced at the bill of a high-end restaurant they went to. The figures on it made him speechless, but Elchin didn't take it seriously at all. He looked relaxed and relaxed, as if he didn't actually pay for every meal. The same, completely disregarding the numbers on the banknotes.

When you meet someone who spends money on strangers without blinking, there is only one explanation: money is not a problem for John Elchin.

If you prefer elegant things, Elchin will take you to see the most classic operas, listen to the most moving concerts, and appreciate the most beautiful paintings.But Lin Zhigao is a person who is not so polite, so they will often hang out in bars and cafes, and occasionally go to the casino below the hotel to play a game or two - of course, Elchin pays for it.

First of all, this is an extremely rich guy.

Second, this is a guy who enjoys extremes.

Lin Zhigao was very envious of John Elchin's life, but he also knew that these enjoyments were piled up by countless money, and the pitiful money he earned might be wiped out within a few days of squandering .Fortunately, professional players, especially world-class professional players, still earn a lot of money. Lin Zhigao once again found the motivation for himself to play well and become a football superstar.

On the last night of Lin Zhigao’s stay in Paris, Elchin took him to watch a car race. It seemed that some of his friends spontaneously organized weekly race clubs, including some professional F1 drivers. Here, Lin Zhigao Zhigao met John Elchin's younger brother, Rapo Elchin.

To tell the truth, Labo Elchin was not at all John Elchin's brother, but rather his elder brother.

The Elchin brothers undoubtedly looked alike, with the same curly hair, brown eyes, and deeply chiseled features.It's just that Rapo's hair is lighter, more blonde, while John's is a real brown.

However, unlike John Elchin's meticulous clothing, low-key and luxurious temperament, and always neat and clean face, Rapo is very casually dressed, with only a white shirt on his upper body, and the first two buttons have disappeared, revealing half of his shirt. a chest.Moreover, he was unshaven, the whites of his eyes were dark yellow from lack of sleep, and his overall image looked at least five years older than John.

Not to mention that he brazenly kissed a hotly dressed woman in front of countless people and under the light of the car lights.The booing all around was very enthusiastic. Obviously, this kind of call aroused Labo Elchin's energy even more. He kissed the model-like woman for 10 minutes, and after finally separating, he couldn't help touching the other's towering breasts. a handful.

Reminiscent of what I saw just now, the scene where Lapo drove a Ferrari and competed with more than a dozen racing cars on the winding mountain road at the same time. Famous cars, beauties, handsome men with vicissitudes of life, and an atmosphere that is so enthusiastic that it can be compared with a disco—Lin Zhigao felt that his life in the past ten years was simply weak.

It's really insightful... Lin Zhigao thought silently, the pictures in front of him are like making a movie, is it true that art comes from life?

Rabo saw John, and after greeting a few friends, he staggered over with the woman with big breasts and wide buttocks in his arms: "Hey, brother, did you see my match just now?"

"Very exciting." John said succinctly.

Rapo yawned and muttered, "You're always so boring."

He was about to turn around and leave with his arms around the beauty, but suddenly saw Lin Zhigao standing beside John, and asked John in French: "...?"

Lin Zhigao couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he cast his eyes on the woman in Labo's arms—she was indeed very, very beautiful, although the makeup seemed a little thicker, but it was just right during the crazy night.

However, something just doesn't seem right.

John still had the usual tone and expression: "..."

Lapo's expression became even more bored, he decisively put his arms around the beauty and turned around to join the gang of carnival racers.

"After watching the game, shall we go back?" Lin Zhigao yawned and asked John.

"Get in the car, I'll take you back to the hotel."

Lin Zhigao felt that he had just met John's younger brother, so he had to say something to compliment him, so he thought about it, and finally found a good word: "Your brother's driving skills are very good, oh, his girlfriend is also very beautiful."

John showed a standard gentlemanly smile: "Actually, Labo is holding a man in his arms."

"..."

wipe!It turned out to be a shemale!

Lin Zhigao finally understood where the sense of disobedience just now came from.

……

Back in London, perhaps because the few days in Paris were too leisurely and slack in training, Lin Zhigao did not perform well in the new round of the league - he didn't score a single goal.

For the current Queens Park Rangers, the team mainly relies on Lin Zhigao for 80.00% of the scoring. If he is in good condition, the team can score goals, and there is hope for victory. Most will fail.

Finally, in the 26th round of the league, Queens Park Rangers drew 0:0 with each other.

After the game, although Warnock chose to protect Lin Zhigao when he was interviewed by the media, he said that "it is impossible for any professional player to guarantee that he will score in every game", but after the game ended, he returned to the club. Finally, Warnock still called Lin Zhigao into the office for a good training, and asked him not to ask for leave to go out until the end of the season, so as not to affect the team's performance.

After all, it has already entered March, and there will be another [-] league rounds. Whether Queens Park Rangers will be able to participate in European competitions next season depends entirely on Lin Zhigao.If Lin Zhigao stumbles, the performance of the entire team will be affected.

This is the first time that Lin Zhigao has received such severe criticism from Warnock. In the past, even if his performance was extremely poor and his state was unstable, this fatherly man could not bear to criticize Lin Zhigao too much. It was precisely because of this incident Lin Zhigao realized that he was not the only one who was different, and Warnock must be under more and greater pressure.

So in the next fifth round of the FA Cup, before the game against Reading, Lin Zhigao increased the amount of training for himself, and returned to his best condition as soon as possible.

On March 3, the Queen's Park Rangers played at home, and the fifth round of the FA Cup was 2 to 16.

Lin Zhigao did what he said, and contributed a goal for the team in less than 3 minutes after the opening.

"Beautiful! This is a first-level volley, with a range of 34 meters and a speed of more than 137 kilometers!" Reading is not a strong team, so Sun Zhengping explained the game a bit casually: "Lin Zhigao played in the Premier League. The growth in Zhong is obvious. I remember that at the beginning of this season, his effective shooting range was within 25, and he rarely had long shots. But since the 20th round of the league, Lin Zhigao's shooting range has become farther and farther, 30- About 40 meters is also included in his effective shooting range. When he proposed this shot just now, he didn't look at the goal at all. Obviously he is very confident in the accuracy of his shot!"

"Reading's goalkeeper has to raise his vigilance again. From now on, he will not only face the threat of Lin Zhigao inside the penalty area, but also outside the penalty area. In the last round of the Premier League, Lin Zhigao ended He has a record of scoring goals in seven consecutive league rounds without contributing a single shot or assist, so the British media are copying the news that Lin Zhigao has entered the low ebb of his competition, but now a strong shot puts all those rumors to rest broken!"

Sun Zhengping had already reached the age to retire, and he was already ready to retire, but the sudden appearance of Lin Zhigao made him suddenly interested in explaining football games again.It was almost like grabbing this job from other commentators to explain the Premier League game-the Premier League has always been known for its fast pace, and the director originally wanted to hand over this job to other younger and passionate commentators of.

Sun Zhengping told the director at the time that he would retire within a few seasons of commenting. It was rare to see a glimmer of hope in Chinese football in this last period. If he was not allowed to comment on Lin Zhigao's league matches, he would definitely retire even if he retired. Be unwilling.

After listening to his words, the director also felt emotional for a long time. He must have thought of Song Shixiong who had retired for many years. After he hesitated for a long time, he still handed over this hot job to Sun Zhengping.

Sun Zhengping's commentary style has always been steady, but over the past year, his commentary has gradually become more passionate.In addition, Sun Zhengping is very knowledgeable, no matter how long ago the games, goals, and statistics are at his fingertips, so in this season, the ratings of the Premier League games he commented are much higher than those of other league games.

Another netizen left a message on Sun Zhengping's Weibo: "Our whole family likes Teacher Sun's commentary style very much. Even my wife who didn't like to watch football games the most enjoys watching Lin Zhigao play football. Teacher Sun will delay it a little longer. Retirement time! Show us some great games!"

……

After Campbell got the ball, Lin Zhigao began to run without the ball, looking for opportunities for himself.

Three Reading players followed him closely and defended him closely.

When Lin Zhigao was training himself to run back and forth recently, he tried to constantly change the frequency and posture during the back and forth running, creating a feeling of falsehood and reality, which confuses the opposing players.

Although Lin Zhigao is not very skilled in this method, it is enough to deal with Reading's defenders.He changed direction three times in a row and managed to get rid of the opponent's two players.

"Genius' way of dumping people!" The commentator of Sky TV sighed into the microphone: "Lin's skills are really getting better and better!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Bosroyd had dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area. Lin Zhigao quickly changed the frequency of his feet, trying to fall down the Reading 4 who had been pressing on his side.

At this moment, Bosroyd, who was attacked by the opponent's two defenders and failed to shoot, sent a diagonal pass to Lin Zhigao!

Seeing that the football was about to reach Lin Zhigao's feet, the Reading No. 4 was in a hurry. He stretched out a leg to Lin Zhigao from behind and tripped him.

Lin Zhigao fell to the ground with his head down.

The referee quickly blew his whistle, indicating that Reading No. 4 fouled.

Lin Zhigao got up from the lawn and saw Bosroyd had rushed over, yelling at Reading 4.

Lin Zhigao quickly grabbed Bosroyd to keep him from getting emotional, and the provincial referee also gave him a yellow card.

Sure enough, the referee indicated that Reading No. 4 tripped and fouled, and after showing a yellow card, he gave Queens Park Rangers a free kick.

A direct free kick.

Lin Zhigao's foot was still in pain at this time, so when his teammates indicated that he should take the penalty for the ball, he pointed to his foot and said, "Let's take the ball as the captain, my foot hurts a bit. "

Bosroyd stood in front of the football with an unstoppable joy on his face.

Bosroyd took two steps back in the run-up, raised his foot slightly, and the football drew a beautiful arc, flashed over the wall and rushed into the middle of the goal!

2: 0!

The Queens Park Rangers players hugged each other excitedly, Bosroyd couldn't restrain his excitement, rushed up and hugged Lin Zhigao fiercely, and patted him on the back vigorously, thank you He concedes the right to take the free kick.

Lin Zhigao also had a big smile that couldn't be concealed.

The commentator of Sky TV said with some emotion at this time: "Everyone knows that Queens Park Rangers have the bottom lineup of defense in the Premier League. Almost any team with a strong front line can tear their lineup. Defense. If they want to win, they have to score more goals than their opponents, and the person who can score goals for them, there is no doubt - Lin!"

"I don't know when, we have forgotten that the Queens Park Rangers still have many excellent forwards besides Lin. For example, Bosroyd, for example, Campbell, for example, McGee. Lin has not yet come to the club. At that time, they brought victory to the team and promoted the team. But now, Lin's light is so strong that we ignore other players in this team. This is the happiness of other players in the team. It is also their misfortune. Fortunately, Lin's outstanding personal ability did not make him excluded by the team. They will still pass the ball for Lin on the field, and Lin will not monopolize the right to score goals. Will give others the opportunity to shoot at the right time. Judging from the celebration of the Queens Park Rangers players after the goal, this young Chinese player has captured the hearts of other players. They are a united whole! "

The one who was moved along with the commentator was Warnock who was sitting on the sidelines coaching bench.

As the head coach of the team, of course he can see the problems that outsiders can see, and he has a deeper understanding.As early as Lin Zhigao showed his personal excellent scoring ability, Warnock began to worry that as the only Asian player on the team, he would steal the limelight from everyone else, and Lin Zhigao would be isolated in the locker room. , or even exclusion.

Fortunately, before Lin Zhigao was dissatisfied with others, he had already established a firm friendship with Bosroyd, the boss and core of the team.So even though other players were dissatisfied with Lin Zhigao because he became more and more transparent on the court, but because of Bosroyd's relationship, the conflict never broke out.

He was really worried that Lin Zhigao would develop a temper like Ronaldo who would not pass the ball to others. In that case, even Bosroyd would be dissatisfied with Lin Zhigao sooner or later-because he He is also a striker, and the number of goals this season is pitiful.

And now Lin Zhigao has become much smarter, Warnock couldn't help but smile.If he knows how to build a good relationship with others, and also knows how not to eat alone, his room for growth will only become wider and wider in the future, right? (Author: ... I should tell you, is it true that Lin Zhigao's foot hurts and he can't kick a free kick to others? Well, this is really a beautiful misunderstanding.)

……

"The last team to reach the last eight of the FA Cup: Queens Park Rangers!"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the commentator shouted into the microphone.

Queens Park Rangers fans wearing the team's blue and white striped jerseys couldn't help but stood up and cheered, and sang the team's new team anthem, and Loftus Road Stadium turned into a sea of ​​joy by the way.

When the players of Queens Park Rangers stood on the edge of the court one by one and bowed to the fans of the club, the cheers and applause erupted in the stadium did not sound like the sound of more than 1 people. It is the atmosphere that only a stadium with 6 or [-] people can have!

The players hugged each other, laughed, and ran to the coach's bench together as a prank, lifted the fat middle-aged Warnock out, and threw it high into the sky.

Because being able to enter the top 8 of the FA Cup is already the best result of the Queens Park Rangers in the past 20 years!Before that, they won an FA Cup runner-up in the 81-82 season.

When the chairman of the club, Tony Fernandez, came down from the chairman's private room, smiled and said to everyone that he would give everyone the bonus for this game tomorrow, the players were even more excited!

Sitting in the press box, several Chinese reporters who have been following Lin Zhigao's every game since the beginning of the year, couldn't help but stand up and applaud the Queen's Park Rangers at this time.Not only that, they are still thinking about how to write the news that will be sent back to the agency at night, and how to praise Lin Zhigao well-you know, he is the first player to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup Chinese players!

Perhaps those British reporters would only think that this game was exciting, but only Chinese reporters know what Lin Zhigao's appearance means to Chinese football and domestic fans!

Now Lin Zhigao, most of the fans' love for football and Chinese football is entrusted to him.
