Midfielder

A big tree attracts the wind. This is an old saying and a wise saying. Chelsea is such a big tree now. The performance on the field is good and there is nothing wrong with it. Those reporters will play tricks in the report.

Gerrard's goal? There is nothing to report. When he was in Liverpool, this guy often destroyed the city and captured the castle. But now he is more fierce in Chelsea and has scored more goals.

Instead of reporting his goals, it is better to focus the camera on his family. The scandal is more interesting than the game.

But this guy is a bit rigid and there is no gossip to expose. The good guys will never occupy the page in the news as much as those troublemakers. His personality also determines that Gerrard is not the target of those gossip reporters. However, there is not only such a person in Chelsea. There will always be some news dug out by others.

Now when those reporters report on Chelsea, they can only find those gossips to make up the numbers.

For example, the love between Ashley Cole and the beautiful Shelly, especially during the summer offseason, Cole, who just got a big contract from Chelsea, finally took action against Shelly.

A diamond ring worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, although it does not seem to be an expensive gift in the eyes of a famous singer, but on the beach in Dubai, Cole still successfully captured Shelly.

However, when reporting this gossip news, the reporters also joked, "The high salary offered by Kenyon to Ashley has been overdrawn by that guy before the first week's salary has been issued."

But such news does not seem to be a bad thing for Chelsea. Some people even say that the vigorous love between Ashley Cole and Shelly is like the Chelsea version of Beckham and Spice Girls.

The parties do not care about such news at all. Even after the proposal was successful, Ashley Cole has announced in a high-profile manner that he is ready to marry Shelly after participating in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Mourinho is now happy to see that the reporters focus on gossip news. After all, no one likes a bunch of reporters who are like flies all day long, analyzing your tactics from time to time.

Reporters may still talk less nonsense, and those guys who claim to be commentators are the most annoying.

When the team's performance is good, they will say that Chelsea's stable performance has made the rest of the competitors lose their motivation to move forward, and the entire Premier League game seems to have lost its passion.

Especially recently, Chelsea's fierce attack on four fronts has made many teams complain privately that the large investment has brought them the championship, but this has made it impossible for these small clubs to survive.

The main players demanded a salary increase, and the potential stocks demanded a permanent position, otherwise they might slip away from their hands at any time.

Such pressure has indeed made many small clubs regard Chelsea as a thorn in their eyes. It was the sky-high salary offered by Kenyon that raised the salary level of the entire Premier League to a very high level.

Chelsea doesn't care, but other small clubs can't ignore the cost. However, once the cost is considered, they may lose their core players, and even teams like Arsenal are not immune.

You can imagine how embarrassed those clubs fighting for relegation are. The broadcasting fees they get in the Premier League for a season are not enough to pay the salaries of most of their players.

However, this is the natural law of survival of the fittest. Even if Chelsea does not stir up the transfer market, after a large amount of broadcasting fees are injected into the Premier League, the competition between the giants will also cause salaries to start to rise.

It's just that Kenyon has exposed this phenomenon in advance in order to poach players, and the outbreak is a bit fierce. In the next three to five years, some small clubs will inevitably be kicked out of the Premier League or professional football due to financial problems. This is the disadvantage of capital invading football.

It seems that Chelsea is now the inert gas of the Premier League. As long as they are there, the league is over.

Their victory has become a sin. If the winning streak continues like this, it is not certain what these people will say in the newspaper. Maybe those bastards will advocate Chelsea to destroy the league.

There were such remarks last season, especially when Chelsea had been pursuing a one-to-zero policy in the early stage. Many people criticized their style of play, which was to make the Premier League's tactical system go in the opposite direction.

It can only be said that Chelsea has not yet established its own signboard among the media, especially some veteran columnists and reporters, most of whom are standard mouthpieces belonging to traditional giants.

If Chelsea wants to report any good news from their writing, it will probably take a long time.

Even Kenyon said helplessly, "We don't have any voice in the media yet."

There is no way around it. After all, in the past nearly a hundred years, Chelsea has not shined many times. Who would pay attention to such a team that often plays badly? That's a ghost.

Moreover, from Mourinho to Lin Yi, the two most popular guys in Chelsea, they have never had a good impression of the media. Although they are not incompatible, at least they have no intersection.

At most, Mourinho needs to borrow the mouths of those media to say what he wants to say at certain critical moments. The two sides are at most a cooperative relationship of mutual benefit, that's all.

As for Lin Yi's attitude towards the media, it makes Kenyon even more melancholy. You can't say that Lin Yi is impolite. At least he will smile at many people, including those reporters, but Lin Yi just doesn't answer questions.

Especially those questions about his private life, this guy has always refused to answer them. No matter which newspaper or TV station you are a reporter from, as long as you ask questions other than football, you will definitely hit a wall.

Even the local media in London are treated in this way, and you still have no way to trouble that guy.

After all, the saying that you should not hit a smiling person is applicable in many places. Although Lin Yi has a smile on his face, he is a guy who is not soft or hard at all, which is the most troublesome fortress for reporters.

But no one is willing to provoke Lin Yi. After all, this kid is smiling at you now, but you should not easily touch his bottom line, otherwise, you will be the unlucky person in the end.

Think about those guys from Sky TV, and you will know how Lin Yi deals with reporters.

However, this state of not being harmonious with the media has indeed made Chelsea face criticism from reporters in many cases. Can this be regarded as a kind of hatred of the rich among literati?

Anyway, Chelsea is really not very likable. Although the number of fans supporting it is gradually increasing, compared with those traditional giants, the foundation of the Blues is still a bit weak, even not worth mentioning.

Otherwise, they would not be criticized no matter how they play. Can't they win? They are also criticized when they lose.

What is lying down and getting shot? This is the standard of lying down and getting shot. Chelsea played well, and these guys can say so much nonsense. If Chelsea played very badly, they would have more to say.

In the first two games at the beginning of the season, Chelsea did not have an advantage in the field and offense. These guys grinned and blasted Chelsea players in front of the microphone for not being aggressive after winning the championship.

And they are constantly questioning Mourinho's ability to lead the team. This guy had many problems during his time in Porto. After winning the championship, it is difficult for the team to continue to maintain cohesion.

There are even many people who assert that if Mourinho fails to defend the title successfully, then Abramovich will definitely fire the Portuguese, but after the league is over, all this nonsense is gone.

But the reports on Chelsea are still in a half-dead tone, with no signs of change.

There is nothing much to say about Chelsea's winning streak. On the field, these beasts are very strong.

Even the competitors have to be impressed by Chelsea's stable performance, as if Mourinho has trained a group of machines, and even at high speed, there is no time for failure.

Accurate, fast, and strong, this is the impression Chelsea has left on others. It was like this last season, and this season is even more enhanced. In addition to being strong, there is also a hint of agility brought by Lin Yi.

Although many people still don't like Chelsea, more and more people like Lin Yi.

Even Beckham joked in an interview that he really didn't want to return to the Premier League, because the Premier League now has Lin Yi, and those female fans have found a new goal to pursue.

Even the staff who guard Chelsea's training ground can prove this. In the past, Chelsea's training was only watched by those fanatical fans. Now, more and more girls are concentrated here.

Everyone knows who they are waiting for. As long as Lin Yi appears on the training ground, those crazy women will burst into overwhelming cheers, which makes handsome guys like Gerrard and Lampard very depressed.

"God may be jealous of him." This is Gerrard's evaluation of Lin Yi's popularity.

In contrast, Lampard seems very calm. There is no way, because since last season, he and those old teammates have been accustomed to such crazy scenes, and women are not immune to Lin Yi.

Lampard really wants to tell those new teammates not to compete with Lin Yi for popularity on Valentine's Day.

On the first Valentine's Day after the boy joined, the gifts he received were finally taken away from Chelsea's training ground by a forklift. Various small gifts and chocolates made Stamford Bridge smell sweet.

It can only be said that Lin Yi has conquered all Chelsea fans after a season, and also brought a group of loyal female fans to Chelsea, and everyone is a package ticket owner.

Even Kenyon said that Real Madrid could not sell Lin Yi no matter how much money they offered. That guy is simply a cash cow. With him, Chelsea's package ticket sales will be at least 30% higher than the previous two seasons.

It is estimated that Florentino also saw Lin Yi's appeal among female fans, so he could recruit Lin Yi without scruples. Although the investment is large, the return is also very amazing.

Lin Yi has no intuitive understanding of his influence among fans, but before the World Footballer of the Year selection began, it was the first time he saw how many fans supported him.

Chelsea fans are naturally needless to say. Although Lampard was also selected for the final election, he knew very well that if Lin Yi was on the list, he would have no chance to compete for this award.

But with Ronaldinho's voice growing louder and louder, Lin Yi can be regarded as a dark horse that has emerged from the cross-stalks. He was selected for the first time on the big list, and there is a strong number of fans behind him to support him.

Even UEFA's official website was once paralyzed by fans supporting Lin Yi. It is estimated that even these people in power did not expect that the little black-haired guy would become so popular in just one season.

Obviously, they overlooked Lin Yi's performance in Porto. Don't forget that when he was in Porto, this kid was the absolute main force. It was also because of his existence that Porto could achieve the feat of winning the treble. It's just that his achievements in the Premier League this time are more dazzling than before.

Even Ronaldinho, who won the World Footballer of the Year last season, probably didn't think that after losing the Champions League match, he would have to accept Lin Yi's challenge in front of his personal honor this time.

The black-haired little guy was like a roadblock, standing in front of him.

Ronaldinho seemed to have no advantage whether he met Lin Yi in the game or in this kind of selection. He was even in an embarrassing disadvantage in some aspects.

The "World Footballer of the Year" selection was voted by the head coaches and captains of each national team, but Lin Yi rose strongly with a perfect performance in a season, which made many people participating in the competition feel pressured.

Originally, many people had some criticisms about Lin Yi's lack of national team-level games, but his performance in the Portuguese national team a month ago has silenced these criticisms.

Even Scolari has publicly said that he must support Lin Yi and his performance is absolutely impeccable.

"Ronaldinho is an outstanding guy, and the honors of last season have proved this, but after this season, he will obviously encounter trouble when trying to win the honors again."

"It is hard for me to imagine how many people can have such crazy performances at the age of 18."

"Ronaldo only set the Eredivisie scorer record in Eindhoven when he was 18 years old, but Lin Yi has now lifted two Champions League cups. I believe he can do more."

In addition, those who think that Lin Yi's offensive ability is insufficient have also begun to realize that since the beginning of this season, Lin Yi's initiative in offense has begun to increase significantly, and the number of goals has also gradually increased.

In the last three games, this kid not only has assists, but also goals. You must know that this kid's goal last season was already in the middle of the league. The closer to the goal, the more Lin Yi's lethality can be released.

Some people have even predicted that Lin Yi will occupy a place in the league's scorer list like Lampard last season, and this is not dangerous or alarmist, but a fact.

Even when the media predicted who would win the World Footballer of the Year this time, Lin Yi was gradually becoming a favorite, and not only himself, but at least four people from Chelsea had the chance to be on the list.

Needless to say, Lin Yi himself has a chance to compete with Ronaldinho now.

As for the final result, it may not be revealed until before Christmas, but now even Brazil is talking about whether Ronaldinho's performance in Barcelona can make him win again.

After all, Ronaldo once won this award, and now Ronaldinho's Dream Team II in Barcelona is also gradually rising. They are only one Champions League trophy away from the peak.

However, compared with Lin Yi's performance of winning four championships in one year, Ronaldinho does not have any advantage now. Even the Madrid media commented gloatingly, "He has no chance."

No one can predict the result, but everyone knows that there will definitely be a fierce battle between Ronaldinho and Lin Yi, whether in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year or in the Champions League.

It is estimated that Ronaldinho has already felt the threat from Lin Yi. The kid who just showed up a year ago is qualified to compete with him on the same starting line after a year.

And now it seems that the kid still has a little advantage. After all, the kid is only 18 years old. He still has too much golden time to impact various honors. This is the most terrible fact.

Whoever wants to win the honor must take a step closer, but now it seems that Lin Yi has this ability.

And this time at Chelsea, not only Lin Yi has the opportunity to compete for the crown. Lampard's performance last season can at least break into the top three. Behind him, Gerrard and Drogba also have the opportunity to enter the top ten.

Only AC Milan can compete with Chelsea in this selection. They also have Kaka, Shevchenko and Maldini nominated, but compared with Chelsea, they are obviously at a disadvantage.

After all, last season, AC Milan was suppressed by others in both the league and the Champions League.

But when Lin Yi led Chelsea forward, he was the propeller of the entire team. Not only last season, but this season, he also did so, and it seems that he intends to continue.

Lin Yi can get such a high support rate in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, which probably surprised many people, but the most embarrassing thing is those who ignored Lin Yi in the selection of the best rookie in the Premier League last season. The fat Lu they admired did not get support in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year this time.

And the kid who they thought might become a meteor, now not only does not care that he lost the Premier League Best Rookie Award, but also crosses this hurdle and goes directly to the Footballer of the Year.

It’s okay if he can’t get it, but if he really gets it, it’s really a irony for those Premier League judges.

A guy who can't even be named a Premier League rookie can win the World Footballer of the Year? Ugh, this slap in the face really hurts.

However, Lin Yi himself did not feel anything about the outside world's propaganda. As for the announcement of the selection before Christmas, he did not take it seriously. Now he was more concerned about the concert ticket in his hand.

Well, compared with the World Footballer of the Year, the protagonist of this concert was more shocking. From the moment Lin Yi got the ticket, he did not intend to think of any way to refuse it. Besides, he did not intend to refuse it. He had not seen the ghost-like little girl for three months, and he was looking forward to it.

The concert on Christmas Eve... Well, maybe this year's Christmas is worth looking forward to...
