At the same time as the Chelsea were celebrating, Ferguson spotted an unexpected opportunity to strike his opponent in the Manchester United bus from Birmingham north to Manchester.Ballack wears the number 13 shirt both in the German national team and at Bayern.And the No. 13 shirt is already available at Chelsea, and it is the shining Chinese foreign aid.The Chinese, who has been competing fiercely with Henry, who has won three Golden Boots and two consecutive Golden Boots, also got this number from his teammate Gallas.Ferguson is too lazy to wonder why Chelsea people are weirdly fond of this number, but it will sow the seeds of conflict between this season's biggest signing and next's.Ferguson, who has played football all his life, knows that the jersey number is often a personal hypnosis for players, like magic numbers.But at the same time, it is also a status symbol.Who is the team's top scorer?
The number one midfielder?
The number one defender?
The ranking of players within the team is related to the level of voice on the field and the number of opportunities obtained.The number of the competition is not only the well-known tradition of 10, but also the player's personal preference, which not only shows the status, but also a kind of temptation for the club, and is also a consideration for other players to choose to take sides.There is no doubt that Wang Ai, who won the No. 13 jersey from Gallas last summer, made all the players realize that Wang Ai's status in the eyes of the boss is higher than that of Gallas, so Wang Ai's integration into the team is so smooth, and the Premier League's vulgarity of giving newcomers is not aimed at Wang Ai.Neither the Chinese nor the Champions League Golden Boot is a reason not to be targeted, the point is that the boss is rich and capricious.And now, in the first season after joining the team, he won the top scorer in the league and the Champions League, won the Premier League of the month twice, Wang Ai, and the captain of the German national team, the No. 13 shirt problem suddenly appeared.Just think about it, neither the Chinese nor the Germans will easily give up this special number that has witnessed their glorious achievements.Then, what will follow, there will inevitably be a dragon fight!
Once a conflict breaks out between Wang Ai and Barak, it will definitely be much more serious than the conflict between Wang Ai and Gallas.No. 13 is unlucky, but it's still quite mysterious.Not only Ferguson, but many people who see Chels as an opponent have identified the problem.Chelsea are already unbeaten in the Premier League this season, unbeaten in 57 games, and if you add a midfield all-round Ballack, will you Chelsea play against the Martians next season?
So, almost unanimously, after the whole of England was touted the day after Chelsea won the title, the newspapers on the third day swept away yesterday's praise and began to pay intensive attention to the dispute between Wang Ai and Ballack's shirt number.Even if the dispute shows no signs at all.One is the captain of the Chinese team with unlimited hope and all-round offensive ability; One is the captain of the German team, who will be the number 13 next season?
Who will be forced to bow their heads and give up number 13?
How many contradictions and entanglements will arise during this period?
Will the two stars, one midfielder and one offensive all-rounder, be disrespectful and refuse to cooperate next season?
Will Chelsea be in the "wonderful prospects" of internal collapse and dynasty collapse immediately after reaching unprecedented heights?
Too many doubts have been exposed by the newspapers, and too many uncertain and exciting news are on the horizon.The voyeurism of British society has been stirred up impatiently.Even captain John Terry and vice-captain Frank Lampard welcomed Ballack and expressed confidence in Ballack's integration into the team, but they couldn't stop the battle for No. 13 that swept Fleet Street.Jamie called several times, but Wang Ai refused to be interviewed on the grounds that he was in class.Now he is not speechless, but he still has to wait for the club's action.Shirt assignments are the power of the club, and it is out of habit and respect for star players that they give jersey numbers a lot of complex meanings.But in essence, it is still the club that has the initiative.If Peter Kenyon or someone else comes to inform Wang Ai that the No. 13 of next season will be transferred to Ballack, Wang Ai will be able to do nothing but express his dissatisfaction.Of course, when it comes to Wang Ai's status, especially with the super-first-class star performance on the field and the super-first-class commercial performance off the field, once the club asks Wang Ai to give up the number, it is "hurting Wang Ai's feelings"......
This is not sensationalism, but a literary, objective description of a rift in the relationship and a halt in cooperation.Wang Ai hadn't figured out what he would do if the club did it, but it was absolutely impossible to say anything.Just like in the face of Rosselio's provocation, Wang Ai can not play a lightweight fight with him, but he must choose a heavyweight knockout.In the world of football, this is called a man, and only then can he win respect.If this kind of thing is in Deportivo La Coruna, the cooperation between the two sides is frank, Wang Ai also places a lot of good emotions, the jersey number is not that it cannot be changed, if it is in Tübingen Youth, there is nothing to say, and it will even become a special means of encouragement.If it is in the national team at all levels, not to mention that no one will fight, if there is really a person who does not know the height of the sky to fight, Wang Ai may not really let it out, because this will not affect his status.But at Chelsea, it's different.Wang Ailai came to Chelsea, one was the highest transfer fee given by Chelsea at that time, and the other was that Chelsea's results were just right, Wang Ailai was the icing on the cake, and he could also increase his qualifications.The two sides have nothing to do with feelings, they are all interests.Moreover, Chelsea's ruthless style of employing people forwards and not backwards in recent years is not liked by Wang Ai.Although professional teams are the same, what about humanitarianism in killing pigs?
Whether it may be Abu's habit of dealing with hungry people in Russia, or the hubris that comes with rising to become a super-rich man before the age of 40, in short, Chelsea are not likeable, the style of play is one thing, and the club's attitude towards the old man is another.The club's approach to operation under the all-round influence of Roman, who is gentle on the outside and cold on the inside, is also one thing.Wang Ai never had the luxury of expecting Mr.
Roman, who is now warm and generous to him, to really treat him as a friend.Therefore, Wang Ai and Chelsea have always been partners.Neither be fooled by José's personal charisma, nor captured by Roman's mountain of ruble gold.Therefore, no matter how noisy the outside world is, Wang Ai, one of the two cores of the storm, is always silent here.And the other core, Barak, has also taken an evasive attitude for the time being.Behind the scenes, around the No. 13 of Stamford Bridge next season, with Wang Ai, Ballack, Jose, and Roman as the center, many parties began to wrestle.()
