At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Chapter 201

April 22, Liverpool Shaxian Branch.

Two servings of duck leg rice.

Two bottles of happy water.

A happy old man and a happy boy.

"Look at this post, the youngest Ballon d'Or favorite in history!"

"Ballon d'Or odds ranking, congratulations to Liverpool's Lin for breaking into the top ten for the first time, currently ranked ninth, becoming the youngest Ballon d'Or favorite candidate!"

Barnett held up his phone, this was a post just released by Sky Sports.

According to the latest real-time statistics in England, the top ten Ballon d'Or favorites for this year have been announced.

And Lin Chen is expected to continue to win the Ballon d'Or after winning the Golden Boy Award, and create the youngest record of winning the Ballon d'Or in football history.

"According to the current award time of the Ballon d'Or, if you really win the Ballon d'Or, you should be 18 years old by then."

"I will take this opportunity, with the Ballon d'Or as a foil, to hold a top-level adult ceremony feast for you!"

Barnett has even started planning this big event.

"I promise that I will use all the connections I have accumulated in my life to the fullest at this birthday party for your coming-of-age ceremony, so that you can become the world's top 18-year-old young man, a top-level kid brother!"

Lin Chen looked at the post, and he was indeed ranked ninth in the current real-time odds list.

Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi still lead the standings, and Real Madrid midfielder Modric ranks fifth.

Lin Chen doesn't care, because it is still too early to talk about the Golden Ball Award.

However, he is looking forward to the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony feast mentioned by Barnett. He knows that with Barnett's style and connections, if he says top, then it must be the best in the world!

Lin Chen ate the last bite of duck leg meat, and said with lingering feelings:

"Barnett, don't spend too much money when the time comes. The gift you prepare for me should not be too expensive. It will be worth tens of millions of pounds. I am not picky."

Barnett was speechless and choked, and was almost choked by the duck leg meat.

"Ku ... Lin Chen also returned to the team in a better state and fully prepared for the game.

The FA Cup final will be held in a week, and before that, Liverpool still has two league games to play.

On April 24, the 34th round of the Premier League will be played against Bournemouth.

On April 28, the 35th round of the Premier League will be played against West Brom.

Both teams are defensive teams, among which Bournemouth's record is quite acceptable. After 33 rounds, it is ranked 13th in the standings and basically succeeded in relegation.

West Brom is in 17th place and is only one point ahead of Burnley behind it. It is facing the risk of being overtaken at any time.

Staying in the Premier League is the ultimate goal of the two teams. Being able to enter the Premier League means that the team can get more broadcasting income and more profits, so as to continue to build the team and obtain more funds to buy players, forming a virtuous circle.

Therefore, the two teams resolutely set up an iron bucket formation in the face of Liverpool. The goal is very clear, one point is victory.

But Liverpool can't do that. Three points are their goal.

Although Manchester City is five points behind, Klopp will never give Guardiola any chance, especially Guardiola in the league.

Everyone knows how good Guardiola is at playing in the league. He has won absolute honors in the league in both La Liga and Bundesliga.

His team always shows strong stability and stable ability to bully weak opponents, that is, to steadily get three points from opponents who are relatively weaker than themselves.

This is a compliment, because not all strong teams can do this. For example, Liverpool and Manchester United have the reputation of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Therefore, in the 34th round of the Premier League against Bournemouth, Liverpool's main players started.

The whole team pressed forward from the first minute of the game, interspersed running and dynamic triangles, and completelyLiberate the offensive firepower of the crazy four-man team in the frontcourt.

In the entire 45 minutes of the first half, Liverpool fired ten shots, seven of which were on target.

Firmino scored with a header, and Salah scored a goal with a single shot. Liverpool took a two-goal lead in the first 45 minutes of the first half.

After the start of the second half, Lin Chen scored a direct free kick in the frontcourt to change the score to 3:0, and then Klopp called off the game and replaced the rotation players to give the main players a chance to rest.

Danny Ings, who came on as a substitute, headed the ball to assist Solanke to score, and Liverpool finally defeated Bournemouth 4-0 and continued to lead the Premier League standings.

80 hours later, the 35th round of the Premier League kicked off at Anfield.

In the last league game before the final battle of the FA Cup, Klopp played with all the rotation players.

The opponent was the weak West Bromwich Albion, and West Bromwich Albion was one of the teams that conceded the most goals in the Premier League so far this season, and its defense was as muddy as mud.

Solanke has been in great form recently, and has performed well as a substitute or on rotation. In this game, he scored twice against West Bromwich Albion's defense.

Milner's beautiful long-range shot added icing on the cake, and Liverpool finally won 3-0.

Lin Chen and other main players only came on as substitutes in the 80th minute of the game and did not participate in the attack. They just ran and passed the ball symbolically to maintain their game state and make adequate preparations for the FA Cup final a few days later.

On the other hand, Manchester City also won both games and is still five points behind Liverpool.

Guardiola also made a comprehensive rotation in the 35th round of the Premier League to save his strength for the FA Cup final.

Manchester City and Liverpool met in the FA Cup final. The two teams with the best form in English football this season finally met at the top.

But only one team can hold this long-standing and most prestigious cup championship trophy in English football.

Guardiola came with the determination to win. At Wembley Stadium, he was eager to win the first championship trophy since he coached Manchester City.

Yes, almost everyone is paying attention to this issue.

Since Guardiola came to Manchester City with great praise at the beginning of last season, he failed to win any of the four major titles in the first season despite great expectations.

In the second season, they lost the League Cup again, were eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League, and were already 5 points behind in the league. It seems that the FA Cup is the last championship trophy they can compete for this season.

If they lose this championship trophy again, Guardiola will face the dilemma of failing to win any of the four major titles for two consecutive seasons, which is a result he cannot accept.

Guardiola is under great pressure!

Bald on top of bald!
