After the Champions League group stage, Liverpool welcomed his strong rival Totem Hotspur in the league. Although Tottenham had a bad start and only achieved four losses, two draws and two wins, their strength should not be underestimated. They have strong stars such as Berbatov and Robbi Keane, and their attacking power is second only to Liverpool among the 20 Premier League teams.

Facing Tottenham Hotspur, whose form has gradually recovered, Liverpool performed very well. They played steadily and competed with their opponents in the midfield, not allowing their opponent's forward to face their defenders directly. Tottenham Hotspur started poorly and needed victory in a desperate situation. He failed in the competition with Liverpool. He was caught by Liverpool during a large-scale attack. Alonso made a long pass to counterattack. Chen Yu scored two defenders in a row, scoring for Liverpool. Then Liverpool played better and better, firmly grasping the initiative of the game, and at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, Worenin and Bernardy scored two goals in a row, expanding the score to 3:0.

After falling behind in a big way, Tottenham finally came back. They fought back, and Robbie Keane scored two goals in the 65th and 83rd minutes, but finally because they were too far behind, they could only hate Anfield.

Liverpool still leads the standings, but they did not leave the chasers. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal all won, especially Manchester United. After experiencing the disadvantage in the beginning, with Ronaldo and Rooney's return, they have improved. They easily defeated Wigan Athletics, Rooney, Rooney and Tevez in this round 4-0. Due to the fact that Chelsea's civil unrest and Arsenal are too young, the competition for the Premier League championship has actually become a crimson battle between Liverpool and Manchester United.

The competition between Liverpool and Manchester United is actually not just on the field, but outside the field, they are still competitors.

After the ninth round of the Premier League, FIFA announced the 2007 World Footballer shortlist in Switzerland. In this shortlist, Italian players reached 5, occupying the most seats. France and England each had 4 players shortlisted, and Chinese superstar Chen Yu also appeared on this list without surprise.

In this roster of up to 30 people, Chen Yu, Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi are undoubtedly the most shining names, and they are also the biggest favorites in this award.

In this list, there are 2 goalkeepers, 6 defenders, 13 midfielders and 9 forwards. Premier League giants Liverpool became the biggest club winners in this selection. A total of 5 players, including popular Chen Yu, were selected. La Liga champion Barcelona and last season's Champions League runner-up AC Milan were also selected. Premier League giants Manchester United only Rooney and Ronaldo were selected.

The final answer of the World Footballer in 2007 will be announced in Zurich on December 17, but most people think that Chen Yu's election will not be too suspense. Only Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo can compete with Chen Yu, and Kaka was directly defeated by Chen Yu in the Champions League. Ronaldo is Chen Yu's defeat in the Premier League. Although Messi did not directly fight with Chen Yu, his performance was not as good as Chen Yu. The three competitors have fatal flaws, which is also the main reason why Chen Yu has become a popular among the popular.

The odds of "Mr. World Football" offered by Snai, an authoritative Italian gambling company, Chen Yu is far ahead with an odds of 1.35. As the main competitor, Kaka and Messi have 1-5 odds, while Gerald and C-Royce have only 1-7 odds, and others such as Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic and others are above 1-10 odds. It is not difficult to see through the odds comparison that although Messi and C-Royce have reached a new high in their personal careers, their competitiveness in this award is far inferior to the Champions League winner and best scorer Chen Yu.

The famous British William Hill gambling company also timely updated the odds of the winners of the "World Footballer" in a timely manner. At this odds, Chen Yu became the number one hottest with a 1-loss 1-loss 1-loss 1-loss 1-loss 1-loss 1-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss 20-loss.

Obviously, such a huge difference in compensation shows that Chen Yu is almost sure to win the World Football Master, but Manchester United and Barcelona are not convinced. Manchester United coach Ferguson said that the best in the world is Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo's performance in the Champions League is not good and he is not the best scorer, Ronaldo's football is more contagious. In addition, Chen Yu lacks national team results, so being elected as a World Football Master is a joke.

C himself seems to never think that Chen Yu is better than himself. When he asked him who is the best candidate for the world footballer, he said that he is the best candidate, and the other competitors (also excellent, but he is the best one.

Barcelona's chairman Laburta believes that the best in the world cannot be measured by the championship alone, otherwise Ronaldo should not have won the world football player Messi's play in 1997, which is pleasing to the eye and has great artistic appeal. He should be the best in the world.

Milan head coach Ancelotti suggested that a player should be evaluated comprehensively. The world's number one should not be the number one in a single event, he should be the number one in all aspects. Chen Yu actually has a fatal flaw. This flaw is the result of the national team. It is incredible for a person who has never played in the national team to win the World Footballer. Chen Yu won the European Golden Ball Award and Kaka was reasonable for Kaka, although Kaka lost to Chen Yu in the Champions League final.

Whether Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​and Milan are really dissatisfied, hype, or do not want to weaken morale in the league and Champions League competition, Liverpool obviously has no reason to remain silent.

Head coach Benitez supports Chen Yu as the World Footballer, and the reason has been said badly. Benitez just said it again, "In fact, Chen Yu should have become the World Footballer last year, or won the European Golden Ball Award. At least he should have won one, but the strong World Cup effect has made Chen Yu give way to Cannavaro. I'm not saying Cannavaro is not outstanding enough, but Chen Yu's efforts have not received enough rewards. This year is not the World Cup year, not the European Cup year, and I can't figure out what else to prevent Chen Yu from winning the championship. Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, and even Ronaldinho and Drogba are very outstanding, but I want to say that it is a crime not to give Chen Yu the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award."

The next day, Benitez's conversation was placed in the most eye-catching position of the Times. Editor-in-chief Thomson personally commented, listing the top ten advantages of Chen Yu being elected and waving the flag and cheering for Chen Yu.

At Liverpool's training base and Anfield Stadium, Liverpool's fan organization Shankley Soul also launched an event to support Chen Yu. Shankley Soul fan leader McKenna said in an interview with reporters: "Benitez is right. It is a crime to not give Chen Yu to the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award. If such a thing that goes against common sense really happens, we will march to FIFA and France to protest, because there must be someone cheating. I know that many people are biased against Chinese people, but we should not be biased against football. Chen Yu's football is the best football in the world. He is the best star in Liverpool's history. He is unparalleled. No matter Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi can compare with him..."

Unlike Ronaldo, Chen Yu did not make any comments on the selection of World Football Masters. He just used one sentence to make excuses when asked by reporters, "This is not something I can decide. I can only decide on the game on the court, not whether to be elected World Football Masters."

Chen Yu said it very calmly. He didn't seem to take the title of World Footballer to heart, but in fact he cared very much. He couldn't care. After winning the league and Champions League, the World Cup and World Footballer, the European Golden Ball Awards were the biggest motivation for his efforts. He needed to be recognized by the world. As long as he did not win this award, it means that he was not good enough and he needed to continue working hard.

On the night when the list of World Footballers' Shortlist was announced, in order to celebrate, Zhang Shubin, Zhao Muyu and Zhang Youzhen personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous dinner for Chen Yu, and called Sun Hai, Dongfang Zhuo and Zheng Hua to have dinner together after returning from the qualifiers that had just played in Myanmar.

"Is this so grand? I was selected last year. There is no need to mobilize all the troops like this."

Chen Yu sniffed the fragrance of the vegetables, and rubbed his hands while saying that, looking like a greedy baton.

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "This year is different. Last year you have almost no chance of winning the award, and this time, almost no one can compete for you. Let's congratulate you in advance. In addition, Sun Hai, Zheng Hua, and Dongfang returned from the national team's victory. We should also celebrate them."

Sun Hai smiled and said, "There is no need to celebrate us. It's not bloody. Chen Yu must give me a wish so that we can have more meals."

"Everyone wants to celebrate." Zhang Shubin opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai and handed it to Dongfang Zhuo, saying, "Dongfang, pour it for everyone, be happy today, drink some."

Dongfang Zhuo poured wine for Zhang Shubin, Chen Yu, Sun Hai, Zheng Hua and himself, and shook the wine bottle, "Does sister Mu Yu and Sister Youzhen pour it?"

Zhao Muyu waved his hand and raised the beer and said, "My sister and I drink beer, so I can save Moutai for you."

Sun Hai smiled and said, "I remember Uncle Zhang still has a lot of Maotai bars in his house."

Zhao Muyu pouted and said, "Where are there? These are the last two bottles."

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "Sun Hai, don't worry about my Maotai anymore. Even if you have it, you can't drink too much. Just share these two bottles with the four of you."

Zheng Hua sighed: "With such a sumptuous dish, two bottles of Maotai are enough."

Zhang Shubin said: "I don't have enough beer, there are only two bottles of white wine. You are professional players. You must know how to control your drinking. The future Chinese team still needs your support."

Sun Hai said with a smile: "It's enough for the Chinese team to support Chen Yu, let's drink more."

Zhang Shubin said: "Football is not a matter of one person. How much can Xiaoyu alone play a role."

Zheng Hua said: "In Asia, even if we don't have Chen Yu, we can sweep Japan and South Korea. In the World Cup, even if we have us, it's useless. No one can beat us anyway."

Zhang Shubin smiled and said, "I think what you said is very reasonable, but you still can't drink too much."

Sun Hai was already a little impatient and said, "Let's start, otherwise the cucumber and vegetables will be cold."

Zhang Shubin said: "Start at the beginning, I will bring in three wines first. The first one is to congratulate Xiaoyu on being selected as the shortlist for World Footballer again. I hope he can realize his dream this year. The second one is to congratulate Sun Hai, Dongfang and Zheng Hua on his return from the national team's victory, and the third one is to congratulate Mu Yu and Youzhen on their business becoming more and more prosperous. Come on, do it!"

Zhang Shubin drank the wine in a glass of wine, picked up the chopsticks, and said, "It's all done, eat the vegetables, and Mu Yu and Youtiao's beer has also been done."

Chen Yu, Zheng Hua, and Dongfang Zhuo all did it, only Sun Hai said lyrics: "Three congratulations on drinking a glass of wine, it's like this every time, it's too much."

Zhang Shubin knocked Sun Hai's head with chopsticks, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

Sun Hai dried the wine in the glass, picked up a piece of crystal ribs, and said, "Whose craftsmanship is this? It looks delicious."

Chen Yu said: "Okay, stop pretending. I always praise young needles like this. It's vulgar."

Zhang Youzhen said lightly: "What's wrong with the vulgarity? I love to listen."

Sun Hai laughed and said, "Chen Yu, did you hear it? The young needle girl loves listening."

Chen Yu picked up a chicken nugget and said, "Praise slowly, don't stop."

Zheng Hua also smiled and said, "Well, Brother Hai, please praise slowly, don't stop."

"Well, Brother Hai, please praise me slowly, don't stop." Dongfang Zhuo was still chewing abalone in his mouth, but he picked up another big prawn in his chopsticks.

"Take me."

When Sun Hai saw it, he was anxious. Although the dishes were large, the amount was small, and there were not many delicious foods. If he didn't start, he would be gone, especially prawns, abalone, etc. He quickly picked up a few and put them in front of him.

Zhang Shubin was very happy to see the relationship between several young people so harmonious. In the future, Chen Yu would need their help when he joined the national team. Chen Yu himself alone could not make the Chinese team reborn. Thinking of this, Zhang Shubin asked: "Sun Hai, how do you feel when you return to China for competition this time? How is the level of Forado?"

Sun Hai said: "I feel? I don't feel it. He is also a pancake. Don't think that I played 4:0 in Myanmar. That's why Myanmar is too weak. Even if we go to the second team... Well, I promise, it's more goals than we do."

Everyone was amused by Sun Hai.

Chen Yu said: "Where are you playing this time?"

Sun Hai said: "Where is the full-back, Zheng Hua's midfielder, Dongfang is still a forward, Forado has just taken office, so he will definitely not change our position rashly."

Zheng Hua said: "In fact, it's better not to worry. Everyone is playing in the club position, so we feel comfortable. In fact, we are not much worse than Japan and South Korea. We just don't have confidence. After having Chen Yu..."

Before Zheng Hua finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Youzhang. "You dare to say these shameless words. They are not much worse than Japan, South Korea, Shai. It's much worse. How many Asian championships have you won? How many World Cups have you played, and Iran has not said that you will take revenge on Iran. At least I can beat South Korea."

Chen Yu gave Zhang Youjian a thumbs up and said, "Seriously support Youjian, it's amazing. Now I've been influenced by me to become a pseudo-fan."

Zheng Hua was a little embarrassed and stopped talking, just ate the food.

Sun Hai smiled and said, "Chen Yu, are you talking about the young needle girl being good or you being good? You don't have such a chance to create opportunities and boast about yourself. In fact, we are really not as bad as fans imagine..."

Chen Yu said: "Boy yourself?! Damn, you are talking about your own."

Except for Sun Hai, everyone laughed, and Zhang Shubin said: "No need. After Xiaoyu returned to the national team, we really had the capital to compete with Japan, South Korea, Shai. Chinese fans are not far away."

Chen Yu smiled contemptuously and said, "I didn't go back to dominate Asia and torture Japan and South Korea Shai."

Dongfang Zhuo quickly flattered: "Yes, Brother Xiaoyu is going to rush out of Asia and enter the World Cup."

Chen Yu glanced at Dongfang Zhuo and said, "It's over to enter the World Cup?"

Dongfang Zhuo said strangely: "Why are you still wanting to do that?"

Sun Hai whispered an idiot, and then said, "What else do you want to do? Chen Yu will be the world footballer soon. What a gentleman who can't lead the Chinese team to the top 16, right? Chen Yu."

Zheng Hua said: "Is the goal of the top 16 a little low, Chen Yu?"

Dongfang Zhuo understood this time and said, "It's a bit low. How can I match Mr. Xiaoyu Ge's identity? I think our goal should be the top 8."

Sun Hai said: "If we are as shameless as a stick, the semi-finals will actually have a chance."
