Fame with a ball

Regardless of whether Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger covets Lin Zhigao, it will be a long time later. The top priority is the Queen's Park Rangers' matches in the Premier League and the FA Cup.

After losing to Arsenal in the away game, Queens Park Rangers played poorly in the next few games and ushered in two consecutive draws with Fulham and Sunderland.The Premier League standings also slipped from third to seventh, but because he also scored in these two games, Lin Zhigao's ranking in the scorer list has moved up two places, ranking fifth.

Then there is the FA Cup. This time, the opponent is a team from the English Sixth Division. It is not even considered a regular club. Fans from a region spontaneously organize a team to participate in the FA Cup. of.It's a pity that they met the Queen's Park Rangers who gradually adjusted to their state, and thus ended their FA Cup trip.

After the game, there was an episode. After the game, a main player of the opposing team came to exchange jerseys with Lin Zhigao and asked for his autograph.

Lin Zhigao has never encountered such a thing before, and no fans have asked him for an autograph.So not only did he exchange jerseys, stammered "For my fans, Ibrahimovic Eden" on the jersey, and even exchanged contact information with Eden.

Perhaps because of his friendly and gentle attitude, Eden turned around and greeted his teammates with a smile. Immediately, all of his teammates ran over, asked Lin Zhigao for his autograph, shook hands with him, and said to him : "We watched your football game, you played very well."

Lin Zhigao was a little flattered.

He has never had the self-awareness of being a public figure. He always feels that he is just a football player and should not get too much attention.At most, it will be able to appear in football newspapers.This is a manifestation of his extreme lack of football knowledge. Yes, Lin Zhigao knows that Beckham is famous, but he always thinks that Beckham is famous because of his face that can fascinate most female fans around the world. and not otherwise.

And after Lin Zhigao started playing football, Beckham left the five major leagues long ago and went to the American League.Now there is even news that he is about to retire—he was not born in the same era as Beckham, and he has never watched his game highlights. He was a football idiot before. Lin Zhigao will know that Beckham’s skills are amazing It's no wonder how famous it is.

As for other world superstars, he doesn't even know how famous Ronaldo and Messi Xavi are... If he wants to know how powerful Maradona, Pele and other retired football kings are?Unless one day he gets dizzy and sees their game video, or someone chatters in his ear all day long to impart such knowledge to him.

Now, neither of those possibilities will happen.Therefore, Lin Zhigao is a typical football idiot who can only play football...

May God bless Lin Zhigao, his ignorance must not be exposed to others, otherwise, I think he will die ugly in the eyes of many fans. (Although he was exposed in the end)

……

The more Queens Park Rangers advance in the league, the more Lin Zhigao realizes his own shortcomings.

Dribbling, foot skills, and free kicks are all things he lacks or is not skilled enough.The accuracy of passing and shooting also needs more training.

Although his speed is the team's number one, strength is the team's number one, but he is a striker and not a defender, why do you need so much strength?Can you shoot harder?That's a bit overkill.

The club attaches great importance to Lin Zhigao's technical problems. After training every day, Warnock will give Lin Zhigao extra meals.There is a special fitness coach who prepares a training package for him according to his physical condition. In addition to Lin Zhigao's own practice, some team teammates who are not in a hurry to go home will also accompany him.

Queens Park Rangers are not a wealthy family. Most of the players are British or English-speaking countries. There are almost no factions in the locker room. Lin Zhigao has a good relationship with them. The best ones are captain Bosroyd and defenders. Luke Young.The surname Yang sounds very Chinese. In fact, he is a native of England, and like Lin Zhigao, he was born in 93. Except for the two of them, the oldest member of the team is 89, so the two ages The same people also say it especially.

Lin Zhigao has been training more and more hard these days. He understands that he is not good at reading, and the best way to get ahead at present is to play football. However, playing professional football, although physical fitness is also important, but more importantly, technique.Otherwise, with only brute force, a single injury can destroy him.Although Lin Zhigao can no longer be regarded as an ordinary person, at least he has not become a superman. He is afraid of getting hurt, and even more afraid of being eliminated. At that time, he can no longer even play football, so what else can he do?

This is what Warnock told Lin Zhigao when he talked to him, the purpose was to encourage him to practice his skills well.But what even Warnock didn't expect was that Lin Zhigao motivated himself too much. Not to mention that his daily training intensity was twice that of other players, and he would often give himself extra meals after returning home.

At the beginning, Warnock was very worried that Lin Zhigao's over-training would affect his performance on the court, but Lin Zhigao's performance on the court was stable and occasionally bright for several times in a row, and Warnock no longer cared about him. training intensity.

On the weekend, the previous day had just finished an FA Cup knockout match. Queens Park Rangers advanced smoothly again. Lin Zhigao was also elected man of the match with two goals and received a goal bonus of [-] euros.

Today the club gave all the players a holiday. Lin Zhigao got up in the morning and counted the time to call home and asked if the remittance he sent to them had arrived. After getting confirmation, he went out with the football in his arms, ready to go to the next door. University stadium training.

"Hi, Rebecca~"

The landlady, Madame Bovary, put down the pot for watering the flowers, pinched her waist and said to him, "Call me Madame Bovary."

"Rebecca is still nice, and your name always reminds me of a famous book."

"Wait a minute, Lin." Madame Bovary took out a postcard from the house, "My nephew is studying in France, he has watched the Premier League and likes you very much, so I want you to send him an autograph. past."

Lin Zhigao was shy, "Your nephew likes me very much?"

"He said you played great football."

This is the second fan who asked for his autograph, and unlike Ibrahimovic Eden, this time this one is actually a student studying in France!Lin Zhigao was so excited that he picked up a brush and signed his name. The three characters of Lin Zhigao, which were flamboyant and flying, were both in Chinese and English. (Well, he said he was flamboyant, but he was actually boasting. According to the actual writing of Chengdu, it’s almost the same as a puppy peeing or an earthworm crawling around.)

"Need me to write a few more words of encouragement?"

"It would be best if there was one."

Lin Zhigao quickly wrote down his blessings, then picked up the football and ran to the stadium to grab the goal.

Madame Bovary frowned behind him and looked at the postcard for a long time, then shouted at him: "What does goodgoodstudy, daydayup! mean?"

"That's a famous Chinese saying!"

……

Lionel Andres Messi stood on the sidelines for an hour and a half.

There are two more games in the Champions League group stage and they will enter the knockout stage. Barcelona and Manchester United, who are both in the first echelon seed group, will definitely meet in the knockout round. together.

Just tomorrow, on the battlefield of the Europa League, Barcelona and Manchester United will meet at Old Trafford.

Barcelona belongs to La Liga, and Manchester United belongs to the Premier League. Except for the UEFA Champions League every year, there is almost no possibility of the two clubs meeting.For this strong team that has dominated the Premier League for many years, Barcelona's head coach Josep Guardiola attaches great importance to it. He feels that fighting Manchester United before the Champions League will help understand the current strength and morale of Manchester United.

So the day before the game, the Barcelona team came to London to adjust their state and prepare for tomorrow's game.

After explaining tomorrow's tactical arrangement to the players, Guardiola gave the players half a day off, and they can arrange whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect tomorrow's game state.

Many players choose to sleep in the hotel, but Messi is not used to relaxing, so he chooses to go out for a walk in the hotel.

The hotel where the Barcelona team stayed is next to a university, which has a well-equipped stadium and is one of the venues for the British University Football League over the years. When Messi asked the hotel manager which place nearby he could choose When he touched the ball, the manager quickly recommended this place for him, and said enthusiastically: "Today is the weekend, and the college football team does not practice. There must be no one there now. Shall I lead the way for you?"

Messi declined the manager's kindness and chose to hang out by himself.But when he came to the stadium, he found that one of the goals had already been occupied by a teenager.

Out of politeness, Messi didn't disturb the man's training, but sat on the sidelines, watching and thinking about tomorrow's game.

But soon, he was attracted by the young man who was concentrating on training.

The juvenile is thin and looks to be about 1.7 meters five.He has black hair and fair skin, but not the whiteness of Caucasians, but the whiteness of yellow races - the skin looks very delicate from a distance, exuding a mild luster, with a hint of yellow.The whiteness of Caucasians is mostly milky white, or pale, and the latter is the majority, with large pores and rough skin. Even teenagers don't have as good skin as the boy who is practicing hard in front of him.

Because Messi kept his back to the boy, he couldn't see his appearance.

But what attracts Messi is far from the teenager's skin race, but his hard training.

The young man has great strength, and he puts great effort into every shot, lobbing, catapulting, volleying, pushing... Every free kick shot exhausts all his strength, and the football will either rush into the net fiercely, bringing a piece of cake. white tint.Either it brushed the goal post, but more often it slammed into the goal post, making a loud "bang!" The sound seemed to shake the pitch, and even Messi was surprised by such strength .

Not only set-piece shots, free-kick shots, but also possession of the ball. The teenager seemed to be tireless, running around on the field alone with the football, changing his position from time to time, or dribbling the ball. A man who exists only in imagination.Then play tricks in front of the penalty area, like five defenders are there to guard him deliberately, change positions suddenly, pass the ball, and then shoot.

What is amazing is that such a shot is not just one or two, he lasted for a full hour and a half.And looking at the boy's state, it seems that he can come back so much time.

Messi is not a power flow person, he is a technology flow person.He has always believed that the most important thing for a football player is to have good skills, be able to dribble, shoot and assist.And if you only rely on strength, you won't go far, not to mention that physical fitness declines with age. If a professional player reaches the age of 30 and can only rely on brute force to score in the game, it will be a long time before he retires. Not far away.

So Messi thinks that those players who are just strong and hit people hard are not threatening. As long as they send someone to watch them and use up their physical strength for half a game, that's fine.

However, the boy in front of him changed Messi's mind somewhat.If there is such a player among his teammates during the game one day, he not only has good physical fitness, great strength, and stays on the court for the whole game without getting tired, but also has good shooting skills and continuous improvement in ball control skills... In terms of physical fitness, even if the strongest player on his own team collides with him, he may not be able to deal with him.Then how huge the threat this player can pose on the court should be.

What's more, this young man looks so young, only in his teens. Needless to say, his future growth is very impressive.

Not to mention the boy's still immature skills, but his unyielding hard work, and his serious attitude towards himself, let Messi appreciate him a little in this short hour and a half.This teenager reminded Messi of himself when he was still in the Barcelona youth team. He also emerged through hard training and was selected into the first team.

So he stood up, walked to the side of the court, and said to the teenager who had never noticed his existence: "Hey, friend, do you mind if I play football with you?"
