Wang Xiaodong's words not only directly offended Roma, Schalke 04 and Fenerbahce, but also offended the other three Premier League teams.
Good guy, what do you mean?
"Easily" crush Roma, then defeat Barcelona, and then take over the championship from our "three brothers"?
What a beautiful thought!
Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have almost won all the Premier League championships. If you, a little Tottenham, dare to look down on us like this, aren't you looking for trouble?
In an instant, Wang Xiaodong's speech quickly spread throughout the European football world through the good media. Many reporters from London came to White Hart Lane, wanting to interview Wang Xiaodong in person to see if they could get it out of him. More stuff.
Just when these three Premier League giants rarely stood together to besiege Tottenham, the latest statistics from "European Sports Magazine" slapped these three clubs hard in the face.
The European Golden Boot Award is an award awarded every year by Eurosport magazine to the top scorer in Europe's top football leagues. From its inception in 1968 to its suspension in 1990, it has been awarded based on the number of goals scored by forwards in major European leagues. .
It was closed from 1991 to 1996 until it was restructured in 1997.
After the restructuring, the selection rules for the European Golden Boot Award are no longer purely based on the number of goals, but the score is calculated by multiplying the number of goals by the goal coefficient.
Specifically, the coefficient for league shooters from countries ranked 1st to 8th by UEFA is 2; the coefficient for league goalscorers from countries ranked 9th to 20th by UEFA is 1.5; and those ranked 21st and above by UEFA The country's league scorer coefficient is 1.
After the restructuring, the first European Golden Boot Award was taken away by the alien Ronaldo in 1997. Ronaldo scored 34 goals in Barcelona and won the European Golden Boot Award with 68 points.
In the European Golden Boot rankings so far this season, Wang Xiaodong scored 29 goals for Tottenham in the league and ranked first with 58 points.
The next four are Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 21 goals and 42 points; Sevilla's Fabiano, with 20 goals and 40 points; Ajax's Huntelaar, with 26 goals and 39 points; Arsenal's Argentine Debayor and Liverpool's Torres, 19 goals and 38 points.
From the current point of view, Wang Xiaodong is far ahead at the top of the list.
In other words, the European Golden Boot Award this season is very likely to be taken away by Wang Xiaodong.
The most important point is that this award was initially given to the forwards of various wealthy teams.
Let’s take a closer look at the previous European Golden Boot winners. Whether it is Ronaldo, Totti, Henry, or Mackay, these players are all forwards.
Including the players who are expected to receive this honor this season, they are all forwards.
The "DM (Direct Midfielder)" suffix after Wang Xiaodong's name is like a loud slap on the face of today's football forwards.
Seeing such horrific goal statistics, even the most arrogant Manchester United can't say anything.
Ronaldo has worked very hard.
If Wang Xiaodong was excluded, he would be at the top of the Golden Boot list.
But can he do this?
His pride did not allow him to even temporarily add a rule in order to exclude Wang Xiaodong like he did at the Golden Globe Awards last year.
If we insist on winning this honor according to the rule of "only forwards can win this award" this season, it will definitely be a huge shame for the winner!
A striker can't even match the number of goals scored by a midfielder!
How dare you get the Golden Boot?
As soon as this list came out, the opponents of Tottenham and Wang Xiaodong were speechless.
After all, the number of goals was there, and only one of them was a penalty kick.
With such a goal-scoring efficiency, even Ronaldo couldn't give in!
After returning to the league, with Wang Xiaodong's comeback, they successfully defeated Manchester City 2-1 away from home and stopped their three-game losing streak.
Although Wang Xiaodong neither scored nor assisted, his role on the court is obvious to all.
The most important thing is that the confidence of Tottenham players is back!
When Manchester City scored first, Modric and Lennon quickly launched a counterattack and scored one goal each.
Because they know in their hearts that as long as Wang Xiaodong is on the court, Tottenham will have unlimited possibilities!
After the game, the fans temporarily regained their confidence.
Especially when the fans saw Wang Xiaodong sweating profusely on the training ground, they were full of confidence in the league championship.
...
After Wang Xiaodong returned, Tottenham's dominance in the league returned to normal.
Since there were no overly strong opponents in the remaining schedule, Tottenham won three consecutive victories in the league.
4-0 West Ham United, 2-0 Portsmouth, 3-1 Newcastle.
Three consecutive home games not only satisfy the fans at White Hart Lane, but also increase Wang Xiaodong's number of goals to 31.
On the scorer list, Wang Xiaodong is still far ahead.
April 2, Rome.
The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is a UEFA five-star stadium. It was built in 1928 and has a very long history.
Like most stadiums in Italy, this stadium belongs to the Municipality of Rome and is jointly leased by the two teams Roma and Lazio.
"...Kick Barcelona, kick Barcelona, kick Bayern Munich! Our factory has collapsed..."
In the impassioned UEFA Champions League theme song, Wang Xiaodong led his opponent's ball boy into this large stadium that has hosted countless well-known events.
Walking out of the tunnel, countless fans in the stands were already singing loudly to cheer for the home team.
Of course, like the last time we visited Meazza, there were still many fans of Roma's mortal enemies in the neutral stands.
They are from Lazio.
There weren't many Tottenham fans in white in the away team's stands; on the contrary, there were quite a few Chinese fans in red and white.
Bai Baihe fans have become accustomed to the way these Chinese fans dress.
At White Hart Lane, they can still use their numerical advantage to overwhelm the opponent, but once they leave the home court, the fans supporting Tottenham in the visiting team's stands will appear in a half-red and half-white attitude just like today.
Due to the time difference, domestic fans had to get up in the middle of the night to watch the game.
Instead of staying up late, it's better to come to the scene and watch the game.
This is the first time a Chinese player has participated in the Champions League quarter-finals. It can be said that Wang Xiaodong is making history with every step he takes!
Wang Xiaodong took a deep breath and high-fived his opponents one by one.
In the studio, Zhan Jun was also in high spirits, introducing the starting players of the two teams.
"The home team Roma, wearing their traditional crimson jersey, attack from right to left."
"Coach Spalletti's formation is 4231."
"The goalkeeper is No. 32 Doni, and the four defenders from left to right are No. 77 Cassetti, No. 5 Mexes, No. 2 Panucci, who is the captain of Roma today, and No. 22 Tonetto .”
"The five midfielders are No. 16 De Rossi, No. 7 Pizarro, No. 11 Taddei, No. 8 Aquilani, and No. 30 Mancini."
"Due to captain Totti's thigh muscle strain, he can only use No. 9 Vucinic as a single arrow."
"It can be said that Totti's absence is a huge loss for Roma."
