After signing a maximum-salary contract in the Premier League, his teammates looked at Lin Yun somewhat differently.
It's not a question of jealousy or not, but it's just that yesterday I called him my little brother, but today I have become the top player in the entire league. It feels very strange.
Although everyone knew that Lin Yun was worthy, it still took some time to convince themselves to accept this reality.
Lin Yun is still the same as before, training honestly and occasionally acting cool and cute. He didn't get carried away just because he became the top worker in the Premier League, nor did he tremble because he was at the forefront of the limelight again.
It is not easy for a young man to achieve this, but thanks to a successful family education and a trump card as big as the sky, Lin Yun has held on to himself very well, and is generally "for For those of us who cheat, the maximum salary should be the most basic operation." That kind of mentality.
Everyone doesn't know whether this kid is too deep-minded or careless. After seeing that he has not changed much, how should we get along with him, how should we get along with each other, how should we go about asking for a salary increase, or how to make trouble. Anyway, the most important thing is to beat Manchester United away first.
Rooney had a special phone call with Lin Yun two days ago. He originally wanted to take Lin Yun to adapt to the adult world in advance after the game, but after hearing the news, he felt bad.
Lin Yun, 17 years old, in his first year of debut, earns 260,000 yuan per week!
Xiaopang couldn't help but start to recall his first salary, but he couldn't remember it. He could only compare it with his current weekly salary.
What is his current weekly salary?
£90,000…
Although a substantial salary increase is inevitable when the contract is renewed next time, the problem is that his deputy in the national team (who thinks he is) is taking advantage of it, and Xiaopang feels a little unhappy.
It’s decided, if you want to renew the contract, your weekly salary must be more than 300,000 yuan, no matter if it’s less than one point!
This idiot even had the leisure to take out his calculator and help Lin Yun do some calculations.
"There are 365 days in a year, divided by 7, about 52 weeks, 260,000 per week, a year... hiss, 13.52 million? Converted to euros, 15.81 million... isn't that just a little less than Ronaldo and Messi?"
Cristiano Ronaldo currently has the highest annual salary in football, with 17 million euros; Messi is second with "only" 16 million.
Although the tax rate in La Liga is different from that in the Premier League, plus the share for agents, etc., it is not known to outsiders how much they finally got, but there is no doubt that Lin Yun is now the real deal. The third highest salary in world football!
It would be okay if someone like Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain offered such a salary, but now it is Arsenal who offers such a figure, which is a bit strange.
Back then, I was also the number one player in the Premier League. Why didn't I receive such explosive treatment?
Little Fatty's heart is unbalanced! Very unbalanced! Very unbalanced!
We must teach him how to behave tomorrow!
Even Rooney was injured like this, and others can imagine.
Especially Robin van Persie.
How much was he earning at Arsenal at the time?
£70,000…
Not even one-third of Lin Yun’s.
Although I know that Arsenal has repaid the loan to build the stadium, there is no need to search so hard anymore; although I know that Lin Yungang is seventeen years old and has great potential and is worth investing in; although I know that Lin Yun has scored a lot of goals, the money is necessary to keep him. , but... you don’t need so much!
He couldn't help but start to feel confused.
If he had been given £260,000 a week, would he have left?
He really wanted to firmly tell himself that he would, because he left for the championship, not for the damn pounds, but he didn't know why, and he always felt a little lacking in confidence when he thought like this.
Many times, it is really difficult to deceive yourself...
Amidst all the chaos, the game between Arsenal and Manchester United finally arrived.
This battle has nothing to do with the battle for the top spot, nor does it have anything to do with relegation. It is not a derby, but it has attracted the attention of fans across England and even the world.
Without him, just because the two sides are Manchester United and Arsenal, and the two teams are led by Ferguson and Wenger respectively.
And today, this game has another great highlight.
Van Persie VS Lin Yun.
At the pre-match press conference, although neither of them attended, reporters' questions almost always revolved around these two people.
24 Premier League goals and 8 assists. This is the report card handed over by Van Persie in his first season after joining Manchester United. His goals directly brought 25 points to the Red Devils. If Van Persie's goals are recalculated, Manchester United will have 24 goals. There will only be 59 points, ranking fifth in the regional league. Of course, this is only an extreme situation, but it also highlights the important role Van Persie played in helping Manchester United win the 20th top league crown.
However, when asked about his choice for the best player of the season, Wenger did not choose his old love, but firmly voted for his new love.
"In my opinion, Lin Yun is the best player in the Premier League this season. Regardless of his age and potential, he is still the best player in the Premier League.
Only played 6 Premier League games? Does it matter? Even if some people only play for five minutes, you can tell how good they are!
Why not Van Persie? He was in a scoring drought for a while, something Lin had never experienced before.
Suarez was originally one of the candidates, but the biting incident caused him to be criticized. This is not the behavior that the best player should have.
Of course Bale is also good, but he is a Tottenham player and I prefer to call him the best opponent..."
The professor was talking eloquently, but Ferguson across from him showed little interest and was even a little depressed.
Everyone only regarded him as Sir Alex because they missed Lin Yun and didn't want to listen to Wenger's change of direction. No one knew that the old man actually had something more complicated in his heart.
He looked at Wenger, a trace of appreciation and nostalgia that only he could understand flashed in his eyes.
The topic soon turned to whether the Gunners would line up to welcome Manchester United.
According to the practice of recent seasons, in this much-anticipated matchup, Arsenal will line up to welcome the champion Manchester United.
In the 2004/05 season, Manchester United lined up to welcome Chelsea, who won the championship early. In the 2006/07 season, Manchester United also won the championship early. In the subsequent away game against Chelsea, the Red Devils players were welcomed by the entire Blues team. Mourinho severely suppressed Ferguson and thus completed his ultimate revenge against Mourinho's Chelsea.
And at this point, the topic has to turn back to Van Persie.
Last summer, Van Persie strongly questioned Arsenal's "championship pursuit" and soon moved to arch-rival Manchester United for £24 million. The Dutchman showed excellent form in his first season with the Red Devils.
So far this season, Van Persie has scored 28 goals for the team, and he has replaced Rooney as Manchester United's number one and the new favorite of the fans.
One can imagine the mood of the Gunners fans for welcoming back the "traitors" who fled Arsenal in such a cruel way, but the professor was quite generous.
"Arsenal will always respect the players who have played for us and we will treat them well before and after the game, on and off the pitch.
Whether he's a champion or not, it makes no difference.
What I want to do most right now is to give a wonderful game and beat them at the same time, I don’t care what identity they come with. "
Ferguson let Wenger perform for a long time, and finally briefly expressed his views on this game.
"Based on Arsenal's current state, if we can successfully restrict Lin Yun, everything will become easier. As for how to restrict Lin Yun, my answer is Ferdinand. Age is not a problem. His rich experience will make Lin Yun become ordinary...
Will you regret not getting Lin? To be honest, there is a little bit, but not much, because the talents I missed are enough to form two football teams. If I have to regret every one of them, I will not have to do anything else in my life. Well, in this aspect Wenger should feel the same way as me...
Champions League? I want Arsenal to win the title, not just because they represent English football, but because Wenger deserves it and he deserves it..."
After Sir Alex deceived Ferdinand and then gave the professor a slap in the face, the press conference ended quickly.
In the Sky Sports studio, Lineker enthusiastically told everyone.
"It is reported that a large number of Gunners fan groups threatened before the game that if Arsenal lined up to welcome Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, they would respond with a Poznan dance.
The so-called Poznań dance means that people collectively turn their backs to the court and squirm from side to side, using their buttocks to humiliate their sworn enemies.
In the last round of the Premier League last season, Manchester United's championship was almost certain, but Aguero's buzzer-beater at the last moment unexpectedly snatched the league crown from Manchester United.
After winning the thrilling victory, Manchester City fans collectively used the 'Poznań Dance' to humiliate their rivals in the same city, which became the most classic scene of the season.
In addition to dancing the 'Poznań Dance', many Arsenal fans also said that Robin van Persie will suffer 'terrible and terrible treatment' when he returns to his hometown.
Some Gunners fans said: 'Every time he touches the ball will be accompanied by boos from the entire stadium, because no one can forgive him for abandoning the team. Arsenal stuck with him for 7 years. Even when he was seriously injured, the team never thought of giving up on him. However, he just had an excellent season and then suddenly left. This is disappointing. Unforgivable. '
However, there are also some rational Arsenal die-hards who believe that fans should not overreact to the queue to welcome, but should look at this unspoken rule rationally and use it as motivation to drive themselves and use the same method to win back in the future. He used the story of Arsenal being treated politely at Old Trafford after winning the championship in the 1990-91 season to advise the team and fans to reciprocate politely and not to lose their courtesy.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Premier League also stated that it is not mandatory to queue up to welcome the champions determined in advance, and each club can make its own decision based on their own circumstances.
However, both "The Guardian" and "Daily Mail" disclosed that although they were worried about the strong reaction of their own fans, Arsenal Club has decided to perform this routine ceremony in this game.
Let us wait and see whether this scene will happen..."
Fans mostly love and hate Robin van Persie, and Arsenal players have similar feelings. Many of them are not willing to line up to welcome their former captain.
"If I had known I was injured in training, I wouldn't have had to face such a disgusting moment."
"...You think I don't want to? But I'm afraid the boss will take it seriously and won't even let me play in the Champions League."
"Guys, no matter what, we must win today!"
"What do you think, BOSS? The Football Association has said that there is no mandatory requirement anymore, and it still needs... haha."
Lin Yun just listened quietly to the complaints of his teammates without expressing any opinions.
He has no grudges with Van Persie, but from the first second he joined Arsenal, he inevitably had an intersection with this name.
The two sides were compared in various ways: transfer fees, number of goals scored, goal scoring rate, scoring methods, height, weight, appearance, muscles, hairstyle, accent...
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he was a little tired of the comparison.
Wilshere glanced at Lin Yun sympathetically.
He is the last person who should accept this shame, but he has to face it.
Lin Yun seemed to understand what he meant and smiled nonchalantly, "Every game has its rules. Now that you have participated, you can do whatever you want. At the worst, we can just let them come back later... "
So in accordance with Wenger's request, the players reluctantly lined up to welcome the champion.
Some fans watched all this in silence, some booed dissatisfiedly, and some uttered crazy abuses.
De Gea, Ferdinand, Evra, Valencia...
When it was Rooney's turn, he deliberately called Lin Yun with all his strength.
This guy used to practice boxing. Lin Yun only let him slap him when his head was filled with water. He quickly raised his hand to avoid his fat hand.
Xiaopang said dissatisfied: "Hey! Is this how you welcome the champion?"
"What I want to fight today is the championship!"
"Heh, I'm waiting..."
Van Persie walked out last.
His expression was calm and his eyes seemed peaceful.
When they touched Lin Yun's palms, the two even smiled at each other in a friendly way - a friendly smile that was superficial but not smiling.
After the ceremony, the curtain opened and the war began.
"Arsenal has won only one of the last 11 meetings between the two sides, with one draw and nine defeats.
And if the record of battles is further expanded, in the 41 encounters between the two sides in the Premier League, Manchester United still has the upper hand with 19 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses..."
Wenger stood on the sidelines from the first second of the game, while Ferguson sat on the coaching bench, chewing gum expressionlessly.
As the two most legendary coaches in the Premier League and the godfathers of two great teams, the love and affection between the two has become a special mark of the Premier League.
One side has already won the championship, and the other side will go to Spain for a key battle four days later, but Ferguson still sent out all the main players, and although Wenger made certain reservations, he still showed an attitude of taking all three points.
Not a derby, but better than a derby.
No one can lose to Ferguson - although he has lost not once or twice...
