When the score between Arsenal and Bayern came out, fans around the world were shocked.
In addition to reporting on Arsenal, the upstart Champions League player, the front page of The Times also placed Lei Yu’s photo on an equal footing with Arsenal.
"Crazy Chinese thunder, Arsenal win the championship!"
Every year in the Champions League, a star is celebrated.
But looking at the headline in The Times, it seems that Arsenal is the beneficiary.
And when the fans truly understood this game, they couldn't help but sigh: Arsenal, what a blessing!
18 goals in 12 games, including five goals in the final.
Which team wouldn't want such a player?
I would like to ask which team has such players and still cannot win the championship?
Fans look back and see that Arsenal has been holding Lei Yu's thigh all this way!
Not only the title, but also the pictures chosen by The Times were very particular.
The picture on the left is Arsenal led by Wenger. In the picture is Wenger, Arsenal and most of the Gunners;
The picture on the right side of it shows Lei Yu with a championship medal hanging around his neck and looking at the trophy diagonally in the air with a surprised look on his face.
That's right, The Times cut out the final photo of Lei Yu and Robin van Persie "accidentally" dropping the trophy to the ground, and gave the picture an extremely subjective title.
"Champion, that's it?"
The exaggerated title and the shot of "throwing" the trophy in the photo perfectly express Lei Yu's "disdain" for this Champions League final.
An opponent who I scored five goals in a single game is nothing special!
Or the host!
The British used their unique "humor" to announce the ownership of this championship in a high-profile manner.
Even Arsenal didn’t forget to mock him!
Not only The Times, but other English media such as The Mirror, The Sun, and Sky Sports also have this attitude.
In their view, this Champions League is one person’s Champions League!
That person is not Messi or Ronaldo, but last year’s Golden Boy Award winner-Lei Yu!
Even Arsenal, who won the championship, borrowed the light of Lei Yu.
For a time, Lei Yu's global fame reached its peak.
These five goals in the final will be sung by the world forever!
That is an existence that surpasses Di Stefano and Puskas. Such a record, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to break or equal it in another fifty years.
This is football, there are always people who set inhuman records!
How the English media brags is an internal matter within the Premier League.
Although the Germans hate it when these British guys use this incident to belittle the Bundesliga and Bayern, they also have to admit that the 20-year-old Lei Yu has completely become one of the top stars in Europe.
"Kicker" believes that Lei Yu is already a world-class star and can be as famous as Zidane, Nedved and others.
Of course, there are also some media who are not too concerned about the excitement and say that the reason why "Kicker" said this is entirely to find a way out of Bayern and the Bundesliga.
Let alone Bayern, no matter which Bundesliga team is defeated by a 20-year-old Premier League player, it will not be a glorious thing, right?
What's more, Bayern Munich is at your doorstep!
You know, King Nan can represent almost all the strength of the Bundesliga!
The media used Lei Yu to intensify the conflict between the Bundesliga and the Premier League, but anyone who can have a relationship with Arsenal does not care about this.
In the words of Gunners legend Ian Wright after the game, "If I were to award the European Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year, I would definitely award them both to Lei Yu!"
"He scored 18 goals in his first appearance in the Champions League and broke many world records in one fell swoop. He can be called the King of the Champions League!"
Not only Ian Wright, but also Henry, Vieira, Gilberto Silva, Bergkamp, Ljungberg, Campbell, Ashley Cole, Lehmann, Kanu...
These former, retired, and current former Arsenal players immediately posted the news of the Gunners' championship on their social media, as if they had won the championship themselves.
Even Cesc Fabregas, who just left the team this season, posted a message to celebrate.
Of course, many gun fans came to the bottom of Xiaofa’s message, making fun of Xiaofa’s sore eyes and thanking Xiaofa for leaving.
After all, if Xiaofa stays in the team this season, Lei Yu may not have anything to do with him.
Of course, people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.
When fame comes, so will those who want to take advantage of the popularity, and naturally, so will the sunspots.
Just when the main tone around the world was congratulating Arsenal and cheering for Lei Yu, a different voice suddenly came from China.
the reason is simple.
In the top ten games to be held in June, there is no Chinese team name.
The poor Chinese team lost to Iraq 1-0 in two consecutive games in October and November last year, which ultimately led to an "upset" exit from the top 20 tournament.
As a result, the tacit "contract" between Lei Yu and Zhu Xie was invalidated.
The reason why I use the word "upset" is because everyone knows that after all the European games are over, Lei Yu, who is on vacation, has time and energy to return to China to play in the top ten games.
Therefore, both officials and ordinary fans regard the top ten games as the goal of the national football team's efforts.
As long as they make it to the top ten, wait for Lei Yu to come back to reinforce the team, and play against these "inferior" Asian teams, returning to the World Cup is basically a certainty!
But the result was once again "unexpected". The national football team did not even make it to the top ten. Lei Yu naturally had no reason and no chance to return to China to participate in the war.
In the past few days, while watching the knockout rounds of the Champions League and the draw of the top ten, the hearts of domestic fans can be described as a world of ice and fire.
When Lei Yu won the championship for Arsenal and his reputation reached its peak, a domestic article titled "Why doesn't Lei Yu, such an excellent player, join the war for the country?" once again aroused public opinion.
The argument is also very simple.
While so many people are praising Lei Yu, let’s do some reverse output.
He expressed why Lei Yu didn’t come back to play in the two top 20 games despite being so strong.
With Lei Yu's ability, as long as he overcomes the time difference a little bit, he can take care of both left and right.
Even if there is some loss of form, it is nothing more than scoring two fewer goals in the Champions League final.
Judging from the results, even if Lei Yu scored two fewer goals in the Champions League final, the final champion would still be Arsenal.
Such news is obviously unfair and has an obvious style of provoking trouble.
But the problem is, there are some fans who like to watch this and firmly believe it.
For a time, the debate about whether Lei Yu was a "benchmark for the people" or a "refined egoist" set off a big wave on the Internet.
Fans from both sides held their own opinions and fought from the print media to the Internet, from forums to Weibo. Finally, they gathered under Lei Yu's official account and insisted on calling Lei Yu for an explanation.
Looking at the hundreds of messages in the background, Ma Fanshu huddled in Lei Yu's arms, looking aggrieved.
"Brother Yu, what should I do? Netizens insist on asking you to give an explanation!"
"What should I do? Salad!"
Lei Yu, who had just finished taking a shower, snatched the apple from Ma Fanshu's hand with a big wave of his hand, typed a few big characters on it, and then pressed the reply button.
"I have never admitted that I am a superhero. If I want to win the Champions League, my teammate must at least be Arsenal!"
A pun.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
You haven't even made it to the top ten, so even if I go back, I can't take you with you!
Looking at Lei Yu on the screen, who in just a few words dismissed those netizens who just sat there and talked without pain, Ma Fanshu had little stars in his eyes.
"Wow! Brother Yu, you are so strong! Those guys immediately didn't dare to speak!"
Lei Yu curled his lips and reached out to lift Ma Fanshu's pointed chin.
"Two hours later, let's talk about your brother Yu being strong!"
