Manchester City really attaches great importance to Ronaldo. This is the best scorer in the past fifteen years and has a great influence worldwide.

To be honest, the first thing Manchester City has considered when introducing Ronaldo is not Ronaldo's competitive factors, but his influence.

The debate about whether Ronaldo is the king of football was quite popular after the 2002 World Cup. It can be said that smoke is everywhere in the media of various countries, one after another.

Not to mention whether Ronaldo is the king of football, his argument is enough to prove his excellence. Only outstanding figures can be controversial, and a mediocre person is rarely controversial. In addition, there is no "no disputed king of football" in the world. The so-called "recognition" is also relative. Pele is recognized, but in Brazil, many people appreciate Jico more. As for Maradona, it is also controversial. Of course, these two people are also considered the king of football in a general sense.

The title of King of Football was first praised by the French to the great Bailey. Bailey's three World Cups are shocking and shining, and to this day, this is still an unattainable height.

Whether a player is the king of football, if you refer to Maradona and Pele, you can get a relative "king of football standards": football genius, superb football skills, World Cup champions, super goals, huge honors and influence. These conditions are quite harsh for an ordinary superstar, and it is not easy to meet two of them. It can be seen that there are common stars, and the king of football is rare.

Some fans expressed doubts about Ronaldo's status as the King of Football, mainly because Ronaldo has never won the Champions League and has not really stood at the top of Europe. However, if you compare the above King of Football standards with Ronaldo, you will find that Ronaldo actually meets all the conditions!

After Ronaldo came to Manchester City, the Manchester City Evening News also used a page analysis and comment to strive to prove that "Ronaldo is also the king of football." Considering that the media is now increasingly "harmonious and close" with Manchester City clubs, this is also a move for Manchester City to try to expand its influence. A club that can have the king of football is naturally unique. Of course, the public opinion that Manchester City club most wants to see is: Ronaldo is the king of football now, and Zhang Yang will soon become the king of football in the future! Manchester City is proud to have these two people at the same time.

The Manchester City Evening News used Maradona and Ronaldo, which English people generally dislike, to compare it to show that Maradona is the king of football, and Ronaldo is naturally the same.

Superman's football skills. This is the primary condition for the king of football. The skills Ronaldo showed in 1996-98 were a huge shock wave for the football world at that time. In two years, Ronaldo did not win a league championship, but he still won the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards. Why? It was just because of his skills that made the entire football world feel like spring breeze. At that time, the football world praised Ronaldo as a storm, and the most representative of the words of Robson: "I think Ronaldo does not belong to our planet, he is too incredible." This is also the origin of Ronaldo's nickname of "Alien".

Avilander even called Ronaldo "the greatest football player in history". Just as another football king Maradona gave the football world a lasting shock, European experts and journalists also evaluated Ronaldo as no less than Maradona, and some of them were above Maradona. Ronaldo was once called the most ideal football player by some experts.

World Cup champions. Maradona and Ronaldo each have a great World Cup journey and are both the masters of the Cup. They both won the World Footballer and the European Golden Globe Awards that year.

Super goals. The two classic goals in the 20th century were completed by Ronaldo and Maradona. The two super goals were like waves, exquisite and super singers in football history. Judging from the difficulty and visual shock of long-distance running, Ronaldo's goal against Compostela was slightly superior. Ronaldo's goal was rated as "the greatest dribbling breakthrough in history" by experts. From the historical perspective, Maradona's classic goals in the World Cup were slightly superior.

Honor. Honor is an affirmation and commendation of a person's achievements by authoritative institutions and the official. Honor is an important part of achievements. Whether it is the European Golden Globe Award or the World Football Master, people dream of it. Ronaldo has 3 World Football Master and 2 European Golden Globe Awards; Maradona only won the World Football Master and the Golden Globe Awards in 1986. The gap is large. This shows that Ronaldo has been dominating for a longer time. In addition, Ronaldo has also won a large number of honors from official and authoritative institutions. This itself shows Ronaldo's position as king in contemporary times.

Influence. Both of them became famous at a young age and were famous all over the world. In contrast, Ronaldo's influence is not inferior to Maradona. In the more than ten years after the 1990s, Ronaldo was a well-deserved first in football. Before 1986, Maradona's international reputation was slightly less than that of Zico and Pratini, and it only soared after the World Cup. Ronaldo's influence has long surpassed the football and sports world. Argentina's "National" even reported that Bush, Pope Paul II and Ronaldo are the three most influential people in the world.

This report and comment from Manchester City Evening News is also building momentum for Ronaldo's comeback. They have internal news and learn that Ronaldo's injury is no longer hindered. He will definitely be able to play in the game against Chelsea. But I don't know if it is the starter or the substitute. If it is the substitute, how long will it take to play.

The Manchester City Evening News also put a lot of effort into Ronaldo's debut at Manchester City. They have prepared at least three plans to report on Ronaldo's comeback. The most passionate page uses the title: The King of Football Return! In this case, naturally, Ronaldo plays and performs well, and it is best to have a goal!

Seeing Ronaldo appear on the roster for the away game, the media were talking about it. They hope to find out whether Ronaldo went to watch the game away or was it possible to play?

The stories about Ronaldo's injury and several injuries in his career have begun to hype again.

This also shows that Ronaldo's influence has not played a game for Manchester City, but it just went to the away game with the team, which caused a stir.

When the British media began to hype this, no news came out of Manchester City.

Even after the whole Manchester City team arrived in London by car, facing the influx of media at the hotel where the team stayed, Manchester City players, including Ronaldo himself, did not open their mouths and utter a word. As for the team's press officer, there was only one word on his mouth: There is nothing to say!

This adds some mysterious color. Can Ronaldo really play? These media immediately denied this speculation. Ronaldo's injury is not a secret. A week ago, the doctor just said that even if Ronaldo recovers well, it will take as long as one month to play. Moreover, the doctor also reminded that for the health of Ronaldo's knees and ankles, it is not recommended that Ronaldo continue to play football.

The disappointed media did not get any news about Ronaldo, and could only wait for the press conference held after adapting to the venue the day before the game. At that time, both head coaches will attend. At that time, Mark Hughes will not be able to avoid this topic.

In order to satisfy the public's peeping, the media that cannot get the news can only write based on their imagination. Each of them starts with "according to a player from Manchester City" and "according to a senior official of Manchester City club", the club's senior executives force Ronaldo to play in the game for the influence of the club and the sales of jerseys, even for a minute... Ronaldo does not want to play as he has not recovered from injury yet, but there is an agreement on the contract with Manchester City that he must play in the game...and so on.

How bizarre the readers want, how bizarre the reports are written, which fully satisfy the readers' fantasy.**. Under their description, Ronaldo has become a weak woman forced to become a prostitute!

So when Zhang Yang was reading a newspaper in the hotel lobby with relish, Ronaldo was very angry, "You see what you do, you know the truth of the matter the most. It was all caused by the coach, and he insisted on making some mystery. Now it has attracted so many messy speculations."

"Hahaha." Zhang Yang covered his stomach and said with a smile, "It's not their fault for guessing. Who can guess that you're actually healed and able to play the game."

"That's right." When Zhang Yang talked about this, Ronaldo smiled proudly. He would wake up in dreams these days. He felt that his body seemed to be five years younger. No, even five years ago, he did not feel so healthy.

Zhang Yang smiled and raised his head to the former 'Alien' and said, "Ronnie, isn't this just right? If you play well, you should score a few goals and surprise them all."

"How many goals?" Ronaldo glanced at it, "You think Chelsea is the bottom of a fish. Just be able to score one goal."

Zhang Yang laughed. It seems that the recovery of the injury has really made Ronaldo multiply his confidence. Seeing that, this guy didn't say that it was impossible to score a Chelsea goal. What this means is that he still has confidence in scoring a goal. If he has too many, he dare not say it.

After the next day's adaptation training, Zhang Yang returned to the locker room. As soon as he finished the shower, he saw the Manchester City press officer running. He informed Zhang Yang to attend the pre-match press conference with the team's head coach Mark Hughes.

It is not the first time for Zhang Yang to attend a press conference on behalf of the team. Although he is not the captain of Manchester City, he is the flag of the team. Generally speaking, in addition to the captain being qualified to attend the press conference, important players of the team, especially the flag stars, are also qualified to participate.

After taking a shower, Zhang Yang walked to the press hall of Stamford Bridge Stadium.

At the end of a corridor, Zhang Yang almost got into a mess with the person who walked out of the corner. This person didn't expect someone to suddenly come out and bump into him.

The man looked up, and Zhang Yang was surprised to find that the person who collided with him was Chelsea's new head coach Hiddink.

Zhang Yang is familiar with Hiddink's face. Not to mention that after Hiddink took office, the English media were full of reports about this magic coaching experience. Don't forget that in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, Hiddink was the head coach of the South Korean team. In that World Cup, the Koreans created a "glorious record" to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. Hiddink also became the darling of the media. Chinese media also had a lot of reports about the Dutch coach. However, after Milutinovic left the position of head coach of the Chinese national team, the media once regarded Hiddink as a popular candidate for the new head coach of the Chinese national team.

Hiddink muttered, and he was surprised to see Zhang Yang. This person was the target of the players being the key to guard during the game today. Unexpectedly, his first meeting with Zhang Yang was ahead of schedule.

"I'm sorry--" Zhang Yang apologized first. No matter what, he was walking a little anxiously just now. Besides, he couldn't let the older party apologize.

Hearing Zhang Yang say 'I'm sorry', Hiddink smiled and said, "Zhang, are you impatient to play?" He said with a pun, "I have a key arrangement for you."

"Ah-yeah, it's okay, I'm not afraid, I'm used to it anyway." Zhang Yang did not become soft because the other party was a famous coach.

"People say you are a player who never suffers losses, and today I finally believe it." Hiddink said, and then he winked at Zhang Yang, "I voted for you when the World Footballer selection!"

Zhang Yang, who was originally like a cockfighting, exploded his wings and was about to fight Hiddink. He suddenly heard the other party say this and was stunned, whispering on his mouth, "Ah, thank you, Mr. Hiddink. It's a pity that you wasted your ticket."

"No waste, in my opinion, you are indeed better than Cristiano Ronaldo." Hiddink said.

Zhang Yang was a little dizzy. What was he doing? This coach should be the head coach of the opponent he was about to face. Why did he praise himself at this time?

"Mr. Hiddink, thank you for saying this. After the game begins, you will find out how correct what you said just now, but unfortunately, you may start to have a headache." Zhang Yang said humorously.

"Hahaha." Hiddink laughed loudly, patted Zhang Yang's shoulder and walked away first, which surprised some staff at Stamford Bridge Stadium when they heard his laughter. You should know that Hiddink is usually serious.

Zhang Yang looked at the back of the Chelsea head coach and was confused. He put aside his doubts and walked towards the news hall. He didn't know why Hiddink showed good to him and was too lazy to pay attention to it. Besides, some people say that your goodness is much better than someone scolding you.

At the press conference, Zhang Yang's goals were also the focus of media attention. In the 8-3 win against Aston Villa, Zhang Yang scored seven goals in the game. Although he did not score in the subsequent match with West Ham United, Zhang Yang's goals in the Premier League still reached 30 goals!

The league has been held for 28 rounds and scored 30 goals, which is a crazy stat!

In the history of the Premier League, the previous individual goal record in a single season was maintained by Andy Cole and Alan Hiller. In the 1993/1994 season, Andy Cole, who also played for Newcastle, scored 34 goals in the league; and one season later, Alan Hiller, who also played for Blackburn, also scored 34 goals in this season, that is, in the 1994/1995 season!

After that, no one could break the record of scoring 34 goals in the Premier League in a single season. Some media even sighed and said that no one could break the record of 34 goals in a single season.

However, now in the eyes of the English media, someone can finally hit this record!

Zhang Yang's current league goals are 30 goals, which is only four goals away from the 34-goal record held by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer. Considering Zhang Yang's hot shooting status, the league has only been held for 28 rounds and there are still ten games. Scoring four goals in ten games or more goals may be a small challenge for other players, but this does not seem to be a big problem for Zhang Yang!

Even some media are speculating that Zhang Yang may be able to tie or surpass the record held by Andy Cole and Alan Hiller in just one or two games! You know, this person scored seven goals in one game!

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yang's new record of scoring seven goals in a single Premier League game also broke the record of scoring five goals in a single Premier League game held by Andy Cole and Alan Hiller.

"If I say I have no confidence in breaking this record, it is definitely not honest. Indeed, I feel very confident about my goals. If I can set a new goal record, it is naturally a happy and satisfying thing. Andy Cole and Alan Hiller's goal record is admirable. If I can compare with these great names, I would be very happy." Zhang Yang responded with a reporter's question whether he was confident of breaking the goal record of Andy Cole and Alan Hiller.

Hearing him say this, the reporters at the scene also gave him applause. After Zhang Yang came to the Premier League, the media gradually discovered that they seemed to underestimate the 75 million pound gentleman. He was not as rebellious or simply used the word stupid as described by French media or some Italian media. On the contrary, Zhang Yang said something very mature when dealing with people and being interviewed. Although it is sometimes a bit arrogant, when thinking about this person's strength and his long-term performance, you have to admit that this person does not make you feel so annoying.

Of course, this does not prevent some media from continuing to criticize Zhang Yang. It is different from what they will do in their hearts. When someone is willing to hear bad things about Zhang Yang, they will naturally satisfy the public's psychology.

In addition to the question of whether Zhang Yang can break the goal record, the most asked by the media is naturally the question of whether Ronaldo will play in the game.

At this time, Mark Hughes was still putting smoke bombs, "Ronaldo? His injury has indeed improved, and the players themselves are very eager for the game. However, you must be cautious and very cautious about the use of Ronaldo. So, I don't think Ronaldo is ready for the game. Of course, I also need to communicate with the team doctor and the players themselves."

The reporters at the scene were very disdainful of Mark Hughes' words. The Manchester City head coach is too cunning. Will Ronaldo play? You don't know whether Ronaldo's physical recovery is restored. Who knows? At this time, he is still trying to get sloppy!

On the contrary, Hiddink seemed more frank and confident. He made it clear that Drogba, who had been resting for half a month due to injury, would start in today's game.

"Drogba has no problem. He is eager to play, and I will satisfy the players' expectations... I know this game is very interesting. Zhang Yang and Drogba are both players from Marseille. Some people will also compare them with them. However, these are two players with very different technical characteristics. Of course, they are both excellent."

There is still an hour left, and the game is about to begin.

Home team locker room at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

"We have achieved great results recently." Hiddink stood among the players and paced back and forth. "We have won several crucial games. Today, I came to work and heard fans praise you. This is very good. You have proved your strength! Chelsea is also fully capable of competing for the championship!"

Chelsea's locker room was quiet, and everyone was listening to Hiddink's speech. No one dared to underestimate this Dutch coach who has been working part-time for four months. Hiddink's coaching style is very serious, very similar to Mourinho, which contrasts with Scolari, which also makes many Chelsea veterans feel like they are returning to Mourinho's era.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hiddink is Chelsea boss Abramovich who used his personal relationship to invite him to put out the fire. With the absolute confidence of his boss Abramovich, it can be said that he holds the sword of Shangfang. In this way, even some uneasy Chelsea players will become obedient. At Chelsea, there is only one boss, that is, their boss Abramovich!

"I think I need to repeat this game again! If there are still people who think they are not worth mentioning, then you just ask yourself not to play today, because your arrogance may ruin the efforts of the whole team!"

The players shook their heads. Although some people disliked Manchester City, the upstart, from a competitive perspective, Chelsea players have to admit that Manchester City is a strong rival. They will not forget that they played 2-2 with Manchester City in the first half of the season!

"Arsenal looked down on Manchester City, they were kicked 6-1 by Manchester City! Ferguson also said that Manchester City is not worth mentioning, but in the end, Manchester City killed them! So, if you don't want to repeat their mistakes in this game today, you must regard Manchester City as an important opponent, just like in the game against Manchester United and Arsenal!" Hiddink emphasized again that he was still worried that his players would not pay enough attention to their opponents. In Hiddink's view, Zhang Yang's super strength is certainly an important reason why Manchester City won Arsenal and Manchester United one after another, but this is inseparable from the despise and contempt of Manchester City in their bones!

Chelsea must win this game before they can continue to maintain the pressure on Manchester United and Liverpool! He must eliminate all the factors that may lead to Chelsea's loss in the bud, especially this psychological reason, and must be taken seriously!

On the other side, Manchester City coach Mark Hughes is looking at the starting list, which is not much different from the previous ones.

The biggest change is that Ennuoha starts, replacing Belgian central defender Kompani, who was suspended for accumulating yellow cards.

On the front line, Zhang Yang and Robinho are still partners.

Bellamy and Ronaldo both made the substitute list.

Entering the substitute list means that he may play in the game, which makes Ronaldo very happy. He is too eager for the game, but this guy is still a little unsatisfied. He hopes that he can get a starting opportunity, but he also knows that he is too anxious. It is good that he can enter the substitute list just after he recovers from injury. Moreover, Zhang Yang also had a bottom line with Ronaldo. Welsh scorer Bellamy is the head coach Mark Hughes's confidant, and Mark Hughes attaches great importance to Bellamy.

"Welcome to Stamford Bridge Stadium, this is a focus game in the 29th round of the 2008/2009 English Football Super League. Chelsea, currently ranked third in the league, welcomed Manchester City, ranked fourth at home... Today's Stamford Bridge Stadium is full. England national team head coach Capello and German national team head coach Loeve appeared in the stands..."

"In this game, there are many England internationals in the two teams, Lampard, Terry, Ashley Cole, Bridge and Wright Phillips, all of which are Capello's inspections. Lof, who came to London to watch the ball for Barack alone... Of course, he may also be here to observe the enemy situation." Leinker said humorously.

"There are rumors that Ronaldo may play in today's game," said Eddie Gray. We also saw Ronaldo warming up just now.
