When Williams defeated Liverpool with two goals, almost all the British football media praised Williams.
"Dominate the game!"
"A star is born!"
"The best midfielder in the Premier League!"
"Gerald still needs to study!"
All kinds of praise were directed at Williams.
And they are all very disgusting compliments.
In fact, Williams became famous not very late. The first time he appeared in front of the media was nearly four years ago. After defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford, the British football world began to recognize Williams for the first time.
Williams, who was still in English League Three at the time, performed very well in that game.
Ferguson even said at the time that Keegan's biggest mistake was letting Williams go.
Although half of Ferguson's words were false, just to stimulate Kevin Keegan, who was competing with Manchester United for the championship at the time. Williams was just a psychological warfare chip played by Ferguson and Keegan. But this was also the first time that William
James came into people's sight.
But that's all.
No one in the British football world at that time really thought how good Williams was. When Su Yun said that Newcastle would definitely regret it, many people disagreed.
Newcastle eliminates countless young players every year.
I've never heard of anyone typing it out.
At that time, Williams was just a player in English League Three. Compared with Newcastle, a team competing for the Premier League championship, the gap was not small.
As Williams led Dagenham into the English League Two, he began to be gradually paid attention to by some professional coaches. Of course, they were all coaches of lower-level league teams. They felt that Williams was quite good.
.
No Premier League teams are paying attention.
Otherwise, Sunderland wouldn't have been so cheap when they bought Williams.
Because everyone thinks that Williams' strength is just that. He can only play at the level of England's lower leagues.
It was at Sunderland that Williams truly became famous.
During his three years at Sunderland, Williams played many beautiful games. Because of this, he gradually became a representative of the younger generation of midfielders in English football.
But when people talk about Williams, they always say that he is an outstanding young player.
Everyone always thinks Williams is a young player.
In fact, Williams is no longer young. Having just passed his birthday, Williams is already twenty-four years old.
At the age of twenty, you can say that you are a young player. At the age of twenty-two, or even at the age of twenty-three, you can say the same.
But at the age of 24, he is really not young anymore. He cannot be considered a young player. Among the famous superstars in the world, at the age of 24, which one has already become popular in the entire European football world.
Now everyone says that Williams is a good midfielder and a good player. But that's all.
But after the game against Liverpool, the evaluation was completely different.
But sometimes that's the case.
One game can give players a new evaluation.
Just like Zidane.
He is a very outstanding player. He was like this when he was young. Although many fans in China think Zidane is a late bloomer, this is definitely a wrong impression. They compare Zidane with Ronaldo.
I feel like Zidane is a late bloomer.
But in Europe, in France, he is a talented player.
He was already known as the "Marseille prodigy" when he was very young. However, although he grew up in Marseille, he did not play for Marseille. His career began in Cannes. When he was eighteen years old, he had already become the Cannes star.
The main force of the Ligue 1 team.
When he was twenty years old, he moved to Bordeaux, a strong French team at the time.
He started playing for the French national team at the age of 22. In his first appearance on behalf of the national team, he came on as a substitute in the second half and scored two goals for the French team to draw the Czech team. At the age of 24, he already
Led Bordeaux to the UEFA Cup runner-up spot.
At the age of 24, he moved to Serie A giant Juventus and became the core of Juventus' midfield.
He is the same age group as Williams now.
But he is far better than Williams. His results are also far higher than Williams.
This is Zidane.
After he came to Juventus, he won many championships here. He even reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons, but unfortunately he fell short in the end.
At this time, Zidane had already made a name for himself in European football.
Many professionals consider Zidane to be one of the best midfielders in the world.
But one game changed Zidane's fate.
1998 World Cup final.
The two headers in the final transformed Zidane from a world-class player to a superstar. It even made his fame skyrocket, making fans all over the world know the name Zidane.
It's just a game.
But Zidane's path from now on was completely different.
Without the magical performance in that game, no one in today's world football would say that Zidane is the number one player in European football in the past fifty years.
A lot can be decided in one game.
That's the case with Williams.
Although it was a game in the third round of the League Cup, Williams' fame skyrocketed after the game. After the game, even the head coach of the England national team, Kevin Keegan, said that England is now
The national team should develop tactics around Williams.
This made a lot of people laugh.
Just like Ferguson, he made fun of Kevin Keegan.
"Isn't it Coach Keegan who gave up on Williams back then? But Coach Keegan still has the opportunity to reflect on his mistakes because he is now the coach of the England national team."
But Kevin Keegan has a good temper.
Being ridiculed by Ferguson, he didn't say anything.
In fact, everyone knows that this was a bit unfair to Kevin Keegan. Because Newcastle was a strong team back then with countless good players. In addition, Williams was only seventeen years old when he left Newcastle. Kevin.
Keegan probably didn't even know there was such a player in his youth training camp.
Premier League managers have great power.
But the head coach's ability is limited, and he can't manage so much. Unless he is the kind of player who has stood out in the youth training camp since he was a teenager, he can attract the attention of the first team head coach. There is no time to manage other players.
But the Newcastle manager at the time was Kevin Keegan.
Now when people talk about Williams, they will talk about Kevin Keegan.
Of course, after the game, many people also asked Su Yun what he thought of Williams. Su Yun still praised Williams loudly: "Jack is an outstanding player. His peak period has not yet arrived, and he is still
There is a lot of potential that needs to be developed. I think when he is about 26 to 28 years old, he will be the best midfielder in world football."
…………
Just when Williams was being praised everywhere, Chelsea ushered in the twelfth round of the Premier League.
It's really a game in two days.
On November 4th, only two days have passed since the second round of the League Cup. Chelsea will play again. There are so many games that Su Yun has no time to study his opponents, so the players can imagine.
Challenge Charlton away.
Charlton also played a League Cup third round match two days ago.
And he also won.
Su Yun really doesn't know what to say about a club like Charlton.
Even Chelsea now feels that it is difficult to rotate personnel. Clubs like Charlton dare to play two-front operations. Su Yun doesn't know what Charlton is thinking?
It is very difficult for them to avoid relegation now.
At this time, we should take the initiative to give up competitions like the League Cup.
But Su Yun is not polite.
One game every two days is the best test of a team's bench strength. Su Yun has many good players, and even the players on the bench are better than Charlton's main players. Le Saux,
Players such as Babayaro, Melchiot, Wise, Poyet, Darabona, Karasic, Eto'o and Fussell can all play the main role at Charlton.
Almost all the lineups have been changed.
Su Yun only left three people behind.
Goalkeeper Cudicini, center back Terry, midfielder Williams.
Cudicini is the goalkeeper. There is no burden in one game for two days. The center back also runs far less than players in other positions. Therefore, Terry's physical strength is not a problem. And what Terry needs now is experience.
As a central defender, Terry needs to compete at this age. Keep competing and accumulate more experience.
So Su Yun continued to let Terry play.
There is only one monster.
That's Williams in midfield.
In the last game against Liverpool, Williams ran more than 14,000 meters alone. Lampard and Di Matteo also ran a lot, both of which were more than 12,000 meters. It can be said that Chelsea used
Movement completely destroyed Liverpool.
Even so, Williams is still in the lineup.
Even Lampard, a physical maniac, felt tired from recent games. But Williams was fine.
Su Yun was still worried, so he talked to the team doctor and physical coach.
They all thought Williams was in good health. There was no problem at all.
There is indeed no problem.
Chelsea doesn't have many problems, and all the substitute players can be played. But Charlton is different. Their lineup is already very poor, and the main lineup is currently struggling to avoid relegation in the league.
Not to mention their bench.
Their bench is full of scum.
Facing Chelsea's group of veterans, there was nothing they could do. Although they rotated so many players, Chelsea did not retreat or face any problems in the away game. They easily defeated Charlton 2-0.
Williams, who has been in the media headlines recently, continued his hot form. Williams, who played consecutive games, did not feel any fatigue and scored another goal with a corner kick in this game.
The strong Chelsea kicked Charlton directly into the relegation zone.
Su Yun really couldn't understand Charlton's thoughts. What's the point of breaking the League Cup? If it was Su Yun, he wouldn't have given up the League Cup in the first round. Now relegation is Charlton's biggest task. It's already ten years old.
It's January and Charlton are still struggling in the relegation zone.
Of course this has nothing to do with Su Yun.
The most exciting thing in the British media right now is the report of Williams. This iron man who has not won a single game this season suddenly performed very well in recent games and was praised by all the media. (To be continued...)
