Chapter 478 The Desperate Gunner
Tang Wu was only one step away from the World Footballer. Such reports covered almost every inch of the world where there is football the next day.
Looking at the 30 athletes selected for the World Player of the Year list, only Tang Wu is the goalkeeper.This also reflects that in the selection similar to "Mr.", the positions of goalkeeper and defender are quite neglected.
But Tang Wu competed for a quarter of the points as a goalkeeper with his own strength.Disregarding the scores of the top three footballers, the remaining 27 players scored about 1200 points.
After the voting results came out, the Brazilian media burst into excitement.
To be honest, in the past year, Tang Wu won many more championships in the club than Ronaldinho.Moreover, in the Club World Cup that just passed, Liverpool won the championship, and it was Tang Wu who scored the winning goal.This caused many Brazilians to raise their hearts to their throats before the results came out.
"Dancing samba on the Great Wall of China", this is a joke in the Brazilian media, which means that Ronaldinho will still be better than Tang Wu in the end.
But the Chinese media didn't care. They launched a counterattack in the Chinese way: "For thousands of years, the Great Wall has been there; but the samba dancers may not necessarily be there."
Tang Wu and Ronaldinho have almost no commonality in terms of position, playing style, nationality, personality, hobbies, looks, specialties, etc., and the biggest gap between the two as professional players is also obvious-the two have completely different characteristics. Different styles of life.
In Paris, Ronaldinho was always fascinated by the night of the romantic city; but whether in London or Liverpool, the paparazzi of the tabloids never saw Tang Wu lingering in nightclubs and staying out at night.
"People's Daily" issued an article saying: It is not easy for Tang Wu to achieve so many achievements when he is still young.Young people should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and play steadily, so that their careers can be extended, but they can achieve more achievements and play more games!
Domestic official media are usually very reserved. Even if a person has won the highest honor, they will say some warning words to remind the person not to be proud.
The foreign media is different. Although the "Liverpool Echo" is not very satisfied with this result, it still publicizes Tang Wu's achievements.
Whether it's the just-concluded Club World Cup or the World Footballer of the Year, Liverpool's media almost blew Tang Wu into the sky.
Even many Everton fans switched camps, took off their clothes, put on a Liverpool scarf, and became fans of Tang Wu.
Many years later, Gerrard said with a smile: "Tom's greatest contribution to Liverpool may not be to help the team win so many championships, but to make almost all the small Everton fans switch camps."
Among the 11 best players in world football listed later, Tang Wu, as the only goalkeeper, deservedly stood on the last line of defense.
The defense is also facing a similar embarrassment.Carlos, Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, only these four defenders were shortlisted, so all four were selected.
Let's not talk about the age and degree of aging of this line of defense, but looking at the current stability of the defense line of Real Madrid and AC Milan, it can only show that in this type of selection, fame often takes precedence over status.
There are more choices in the midfield and frontcourt, and it is completely a matter of opinion here.
If only based on the position and the number of votes received, both Ronaldinho and Lampard's votes have left the main force, and there is no doubt that they each occupy a position.
In the choice of sideways, if you only choose those players who are pure sideways, then Robben and C. Ronaldo will get the most votes.Of course, if you want to count the middle and side players such as Gerrard, Beckham, Kaka, Nedved, etc., the combination of the two wings will be more colorful.
Considering more places for forwards and the allocation of midfielders, the three midfielders were finally fixed as Ronaldinho, Lampard and Gerrard.
On the forward line, the gap in votes is not big, the top three are Eto'o, Henry and Adriano.
According to some gossip, the king of Highbury is likely to switch to Barcelona next year, so the combination of the former two may really appear in reality.
Speaking of Henry, his recent life is indeed not very satisfactory.
In the just-concluded 17th round of the Premier League, Chelsea took away three points at Highbury.
This is the first time that Chelsea have won an away game against Arsenal in the Premier League. Arsenal, whose winning streak at home has been terminated, also suffered a three-game losing streak in the league for the first time in 10 years. Arsenal failed to score in the last 4 games.
What's more interesting is that Joe Cole and Robben's low shots hit the goal frame one after another, piercing the gate guarded by Lehmann; while Henry's push shot after passing five players in the first half was caught by Petr Cech. The doorpost next to it shuts out the door.
The Highbury Kings were unlucky to have a shot blocked by the post at home.
After the game, Senderos sighed in an interview: "If that goal had been scored, the game would never have become what it is now."
Regarding the poor performance of the team during this period, the gun fans pointed the finger at Professor Wenger and Senderos just now.
The young player known as Campbell was originally known for his arrogant body, but throughout the game, he has been suppressed by Drogba, the beast from Côte d'Ivoire, and Chelsea has made many loopholes.
Whether it's physical confrontation, speed, or even a breakthrough with the ball, Drogba has completely exploded this young defender who was given high hopes by Professor Wenger at the end of last season.
For a young man, a short-term failure may be temporary, and the most important thing is to learn from the failure and continue to work hard.
However, Senderos, who has a low emotional intelligence, blamed the physical confrontation level. He thought that he was still young, and he was naturally inferior to the long-famous Drogba in terms of physical fitness.
For this reason, the fans did not buy it; because in the match with Liverpool, Tang Wu, who was one level weaker than Senderos, did not fall behind in the face of Drogba.
Tang Wu has caught the ball at Drogba's feet countless times, allowing the Ivorian beast to return without success.And the mark on his forehead is the best witness to record this feat.
Obviously, Senderos just wanted to find a reason to excuse himself; at this time, compared with Tang Wu, who is about the same age as him, but already full of glory, the fans are of course not happy.
After losing the "crucial battle", the Gunners, who were nearly 20 points behind Chelsea, almost declared a death sentence.The Gunners, who were once extremely powerful and undefeated in the Premier League for a season, even reported that Henry was about to transfer.
The professor never answered directly, and he even avoided this topic on purpose.
It is not difficult to see that after seeing that a team like Liverpool can win the Champions League, King Highbury's desire for the Champions League is even stronger.
Since staying here is hopeless to win the championship, it is better to look for new opportunities!
The huge difference in league points made the professor have to consider shifting the focus of this season to the Champions League.
Seeing the Red Army following Chelsea closely in the standings, the professor had to sigh: "When did Arsenal become Liverpool?"
