After the game against West Ham United, the Premier League began a 12-day offseason. Although it is not an official winter break, the intensive arrangement of events around Christmas + New Year has certainly won a commercial harvest.
, but it also made every team exhausted.
Of course, during this period, if the team has other games, it will not be idle, such as the FA Cup. Only teams that do not have these games can truly have a holiday.
But it’s okay, it’s almost one game a week. From the end of the game on the 2nd to the 7th, Huddersfield, the English Championship rival, came to Chelsea. Cup competitions in various countries are similar, with a large number of low-level teams participating.
Among them, games against wealthy clubs are seen as a good opportunity to improve the club's finances.
While Jose left many substitute players in the team to cope with this game, he also gave the main players a holiday, allowing them to spend a good holiday with their families to compensate for the minimal time and space that was compressed in games and business activities.
An opportunity for family gatherings.
Wang Ai also got a holiday. During this time, the university started the Christmas vacation, and classes did not resume until the 10th. It was regarded as the winter vacation of British universities. Xu Qinglian accompanied Wang Ai all the time, which was considered as a serious fulfillment of her girlfriend's obligation: to go see
Played several games.
On January 3, Wang Ai packed his luggage and prepared to return to China. Xu Qinglian also accompanied him. But as soon as he went out, he received a call from Jamie and made a new interview request. After listening to his excited story, Wang Ai suddenly realized something:
He actually topped the Premier League scorer list after yesterday's game.
Yes, Wang Ai only played in 7 of the 21 Premier League games, but his total number of goals reached 12 yesterday, ranking fifth in one fell swoop, surpassing Lampard, Rooney, Ruud Ruud,
Henry, tops the list, even if Henry's goals are only one behind him.
This is the first time that a Chinese has topped the scorer list in the Premier League. Even if it is only for a period, it already has explosive value. Especially after Henry politely expressed his admiration for Wang Ai in an interview.
Before Jamie asked for an interview, the British press had already published sensational headlines such as "The King of Highbury Gives Up". Naturally, they didn't hate Henry, because Henry was a former
The striker's performance on and off the court was impeccable. However, after years of dominance, he was still a little tired. So, it was natural to raise the topic of the Chinese and the French competing for the Golden Boot.
This phone call made Wang Ai accidentally learn of his climb to the top, but he didn't take it too seriously. Henry had failed to score a goal in five games before, and he and his team had some problems, but this didn't matter.
It represents Henry's true strength. Similarly, Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rooney, and Cristiano Ronaldo are all in the top ten of the rankings. There is still only half a year left in the league, and anything can happen.
So, on the phone, Wang Ai responded cautiously, saying that he was grateful for Henry's appreciation and encouragement, and hoped that he would perform well in the future. At the same time, he also told Jamie that he also admired Henry's achievements. As for the golden boots,
Wang Ai was equally cautious, he just said that everything would finally be settled in Xia Tian.
After hanging up the phone, the Bentley Flying Spur slowly started up. Wang Ai leaned on the back seat and let out a long breath. He stared at the street trees outside the window and didn't speak for a long time. Lao Bai had tried this kind of achievement two years ago, right? Although in the end
He did not win the Bundesliga Golden Boot, but he also reached the top at a certain stage in the league.
To say I'm not excited at all would be a lie. Following Chelsea to win the league championship this season, or setting a Premier League winning streak, unbeaten record, etc., the feeling is average. After all, it is mainly due to teammates, but personal awards are just
It’s different.
This is completely consistent with Wang Ai's goal of working hard throughout 2006 and striving for the year-end grand prize. However, in this process, it is always difficult to calm down.
It wasn't until the vehicle drove out of Cobham and entered London's main road northwest that Wang Ai adjusted his mentality and looked to his side. Xu Qinglian was leaning on the Bentley's wide body with a smile and looking at him.
"Top scorer?" Xu Qinglian's crisp voice echoed in the car.
Yan Zhu, who was driving in the front seat, was concentrating, while Zhao Dan looked over in the rearview mirror excitedly. Wang Ai smiled and shook his head: "It's early, everything won't be easy to say until summer."
Xu Qinglian turned her head and brushed her green-white fingers over the high-end leather car interior: "At this moment, I really feel that you are a big star. Why haven't I felt it before?"
Wang Ai sneered and rolled his eyes: "I'm too embarrassed for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, warm fingers pinched Wang Ai's ears. Wang Ai bared his teeth and hurriedly explained: "I'm not too familiar with you, so I don't have the airs of a celebrity at all? If I always keep a straight face, I will always look like I can't be approached.
, you smell like a star. So, I was too casual and too disrespectful to you. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
"Glib tongue!" Xu Qinglian let go of her hand and sighed: "I feel that I may have read history wrongly. I should also read philosophy. Otherwise, I will always lose to you in a quarrel. You scolded me, but you still said it plausibly."
This time, even the silent Yan Zhu smiled.
The car was flowing in the traffic. Bubi arrived at the airport and stored the car in a nearby parking lot. A few people met with Xu Qinglian's two female guards. Bubi found Sun Jihai and Qu Bo by phone. They were all alone.
It's not like Wang Ai's side that made a big splash when he came out. If Sun Jihai's haircut cost 7,000 pounds, then Wang Ai's "haircut" cost 42,000 pounds, and the Football Association only reimbursed Wang Ai. So Wang Ai went back to China,
It's equivalent to working for half a month in vain.
It makes sense not to go back. At least Wang Ai used this reason to avoid the undercurrent of domestic football during this period.
Of course, everyone knows that this is an excuse. Because recently his agent Schlapner is in intensive negotiations with Adidas. According to a well-informed Chinese reporter, this negotiation is a long-term contract.
The amount involved in the contract is likely to exceed 500 million yuan!
Once he sits back and watches, Wang Ai will become the best spokesperson for Adidas, and will also become the undisputed double king of domestic football and sports. Yao Ming + Liu Xiang are not the same.
500 million yuan, it is self-evident what this means to the relatively poor Chinese people and Chinese society. Although in the eyes of many rich people, this is nothing, such as those who build buildings, those who dig
Coal people and stock traders are far less well-known than Wang Ai. Therefore, as soon as the news came out... Wang Ai had to change his phone number again.
