Chapter 226 Half-time Champion
“You are the ones who really know what’s going on!”

As soon as these words were spoken.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Especially C Ronaldo, he burst out laughing, then turned his head to look at Messi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and couldn't help laughing and patting Messi's thigh: "Sorry, Leo, this guy is really funny"

You can’t blame Ronaldo for laughing so exaggeratedly.

These days.

An article written by Aguilar, editor-in-chief of Mundo Deportivo, is circulating in the European media circle: Only those who truly understand football will vote for Messi!
This is an article to promote Messi.

In fact, some media have also published similar articles about Sunshine and Ronaldo.

But none of them have as much influence as this one.

Aguilar is indeed one of the most awesome sports media editors in Europe.
But the problem is
Messi didn't win any awards.

then
This article went from being a "great article" to a joke.

Messi had a gloomy face and blamed Aguilar in his heart for being a fool.

He actually knows that the possibility of him winning the Ballon d'Or this year is very low.

very low.

He only has one Copa del Rey title.

Didn't even win the La Liga title.

How is it possible to win the Golden Globe?
Honestly.

Even making it into the top three surprised him.

But Aguilar's mouthpieces ignored the situation and kept blowing the whistle, causing him to feel ashamed now.

The camera was focused on Messi.

Then he found Aguilar in the media booth.

Aguilar's face was as black as pig liver.

Yangguang and he have had a grudge against each other for a long time.

Before last season's Champions League semi-final.

Sunshine said at the end of the media interview that Monaco must beat Barcelona, advance to the final and win the Champions League.

Then Mundo Deportivo produced a cartoon, in which Sunshine was portrayed as a clown who was overconfident and arrogant and wanted to win the Champions League.

This made Yangguang very unhappy with [Mundo Deportivo].

Now on this occasion.

He was just making fun of Aguilar, which was considered very restrained.

Around Aguilar.

The laughter of the media reporters from France and England was very harsh.

This made Aguilar want to walk away.

Who made the Suns perform so well last season?

Four-time champion.

Champions League, Ligue 1, French Cup, French League Cup.

The heavy trophy says it all.

On personal data.

Not to mention that.

Whether in the Champions League or the league, his number of goals is higher than Messi and Ronaldo.

He won the Golden Globe without any suspense or surprise.

After C Luo laughed.

He also stopped smiling.

He knew that he was also overshadowed by the sun. In 2017, the most dazzling player was not him, but the Chinese on the stage.

He is only 20 years old.
C Ronaldo took a deep breath, and he is already 32 years old
Originally, Ronaldo thought that his only competitor was Messi.

did not expect.
Suddenly a ray of sunshine popped out.

He is younger, more energetic, and has a brighter future.

This brings greater competitive pressure to Ronaldo.

But the Portuguese is not afraid of pressure.

He secretly swore that he must take back what he had lost with his own hands!
No one noticed.

On the other side.

Messi clenched his fists.

Both of them looked up at the sunlight on the stage.

just now.

They are challengers!

"I want to thank many people. Thank you Monaco, the fans of Monaco, my former teammates."

Sunshine said to the camera.

This scene made many Monaco fans in front of the TV wipe away tears.

"Come on! Yang! We will always support you!"

"Monaco will always be your home."

Many Monaco fans couldn't help but shout in front of the TV.

in England.

Liverpool fans were also cheering for the sun.

The host of Liverpool TV was very excited: "Sunshine won the Golden Ball! He is the second player in history to win the Golden Ball as a Liverpool player. The first one to win the Golden Ball was the young wind chaser Michael Owen."

in China.

CCTV host He Wei told the fans: "Today, Yangguang, who is 20 years and 30 days old, is the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history. He broke Ronaldo's record!"

Before Sunshine, the youngest Ballon d'Or winner was Ronaldo.

He won the Golden Globe at the age of 21.

And now, Sunshine has broken this record.

in applause.

Sunshine walked off the stage.

After the award ceremony.

He flew back to Liverpool with Klopp and others that night.

After all, the schedule is quite tight now.

On December 12, Liverpool will usher in the 14th round of the Premier League.

Their opponent is West Bromwich Albion.

One day before the game.

Liverpool's players are very focused on another event: the Manchester derby.

In the sunshine's abode.

Liverpool's players gathered together.

Everyone set up a barbecue grill on the lawn.

The players had a barbecue.

Some players came with their wives and children.

The children are playing on the lawn.

The women gathered on the other side gossiping.

The players gathered around the barbecue grill, grilling and chatting.

This was a party held to celebrate Sunshine winning the Golden Globe.

Considering the tight schedule.

So it wasn’t made too grand.

"Although Manchester United is our mortal enemy, to be honest, I hope Manchester United will win."

Mane said.

"Just think this in your heart, but don't let the media know. Otherwise, I can imagine what the headlines will be the next day."

“[Mane supports Manchester United to win]”

"Believe me, the English media will definitely be so shameless"

Everyone laughed.

"Manchester City are in really good shape. They have never lost a game except to us..."

"I feel like Manchester United can't beat them..."

"I think so too"

Liverpool hasn't won the Premier League title for a long time.

The last time Liverpool came close to winning the Premier League.

Many of the players on this team have not yet joined the team.
No one mentioned the term "Premier League champions".

It seemed like this was a piece of easily broken porcelain, and everyone was cautious and afraid to mention it.

Sunshine frowned slightly.

He knew that everyone was thinking about the Premier League title, but they didn't dare say it out loud.

They have some fear in their hearts.
Is this the so-called curse or psychological barrier?

"I think we are too focused on our opponents," Yangguang said suddenly. "No matter how Manchester City performs, I will definitely win the Premier League title!"

He pointed at himself and said loudly.

The players were shocked by Yang Guang's straightforwardness and frankness.

Everybody wants to win the championship.

But I am afraid of losing the championship.

Not winning the league title for thirty years has made Liverpool's players somewhat lacking in confidence.

Until now.

Someone was in front of all the players.

The window paper was torn.

The coaches did not participate in the dinner between the players.

and so.

Those who came here are all Liverpool first-team players.

Everyone was quiet and looked towards the sun.

Yangguang stood up and said, "Am I wrong? Why can't we talk about the championship? Brothers, we are now the top team! As long as we keep winning, winning the championship will be a natural thing! What about Manchester City? We still have a chance to meet them!"

"Since we want to compete for the championship, we must show courage! We, the fucking champion, will win it!"

He finished.

There was silence.

then.

There was applause.

Don't know who.

No one went to see it.

Because more applause broke out.

There were also cheers.

"Yes!"

"We are the great Liverpool! We are the top club in England!"

"We just want to win the Premier League title, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Let's work together!"

"Champion! Champion! Champion!"

The group of people were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Everyone waved their fists and shouted.

This is a private gathering.

It can be regarded as a consensus among the players.

There is no need for us to worry about gains and losses now.

Even if Manchester City beat Manchester United, they will still be three points ahead of Liverpool with one more game played.

Liverpool's players no longer discuss the situation of their opponents privately.

They need to be themselves.

Anyway, I want to win the championship.

You have to give your all in every game.

Before the home game against West Bromwich Albion.

Liverpool FC held a brief ceremony at Anfield as Sunshine entered Anfield holding the Golden Ball.

When Sunshine walked into Anfield with the Golden Ball in his hands.

The stadium was filled with cheers.

"Sunshine, the new Ballon d'Or winner, is the second player in the history of Liverpool Club to win the Ballon d'Or! He is also the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history!"

The Liverpool TV commentator excitedly said.

And in the next game.

Yang Guang, who won the Golden Globe Award, is extremely active.

West Bromwich Albion certainly doesn't want to be a background board.

They hope that the headline after the game will be [West Bromwich Albion defeats Golden Ball winner]

Instead of [Ballon Ball winner is in hot form and Liverpool wins another three points].

So the players of West Bromwich Albion also worked very hard.

But their efforts only lasted until the 17th minute of the game.

Yangguang took advantage of a corner kick and headed the ball into the goal from the front point.

Headed the ball into the goal.

"Yang! Yang!! Beautiful!! One to zero! The Ballon d'Or winner scored!"

to cheers from the commentators.

The buzzing sound of planes taking off could be heard at Anfield.

The Great Chinese War God bomber took off, successfully dropped bombs, destroyed the target, and then... dived and landed!
As the sun glided to the sidelines on its belly in a diving landing posture.

Liverpool fans packed into the stands and cheered towards the sunshine.

"Golden ball! Golden ball! Mr. Golden Ball!"

"Yang! We love you!"

"Long live!"

Liverpool fans were cheering wildly.

Their love is hot, direct and passionate!
The entire Anfield stadium went crazy because of this goal.

As the ball went in.

West Bromwich's resistance also collapsed.

Before the end of the first half.

Liverpool scored again from a corner kick.

The goal was scored by Salah.

No one expected that Yangguang would choose to head the ball at the back post instead of heading it directly towards the goal.

The football flew to the other goal post.

Salah, with no one marking him, chested the ball into the goal.

Two to zero.

Liverpool secured the victory.

In the second half, Liverpool took the initiative to slow down the pace.

The game ended with a score of 2-0.

The boundary between the championship group and the top four group began to become clear.

Liverpool and Manchester City are at the top of the table with 50 points and are competing for the championship.

Because the Premier League does not have a winter break.
