What ball king, call me ball god

The 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United vs Norwich.

This game is Lin Kedi's first home game since becoming Manchester United captain.

In the tunnel before the game, Lin Kedi's position changed from standing at the end of the team to standing at the front of the team. He felt very strange.

However, once the game started, this strange mood was forgotten by Lin Kedi.

At the beginning of the side-picking ceremony, when Lin Kedi walked to the referee, he thought it was a very strange feeling.

But when the referee asked, "Captain of Manchester United, what do you choose?" Lin Kedi's expression immediately became serious.

After the pick-up, Lin Kedi returned to the center circle, and this time it was Manchester United who took the lead.

Before the game started, Lin Kedi turned around and clapped his hands to encourage his teammates.

In any case, at least from a temperament point of view, Lin Kedi's first appearance as captain looks quite reasonable.

After the game officially started, fans could clearly see that Lin Kedi was obviously very hard-working in this game.

Lin Kedi's usual running was enough, but today, he ran more and had a wider range.

Moreover, today he has a strong desire to assist, but he doesn't shoot much.

In the 17th minute, Lin Ke retreated from the center to get the ball, and then passed it straight to Rashford on the left. Rashford got the ball and cut inside to shoot into the far corner.Unfortunately it missed the goal.

In the 23rd minute, Lin Kedi moved to the left, suddenly cut inside, and then hit the middle. De Jong stepped in and volleyed. It was not a push. The ball hit high and flew over the crossbar.

In the 31st minute, Lin Kedi continued to assist rather than choose to shoot by himself.He passed the ball straight to Perisic on the right, and then attracted the attention of the defensive player. Finally, Perisic was more reliable, cut inside and shot into the near corner, and the ball went in.

1:0.

After the first goal was scored, the opponent just surrendered.

In the 40th minute, Link retreated to organize an attack. Suddenly, he made a through ball. Rashford moved laterally and shot forward, took the ball and shot low, and the ball went in again.

2:0.

Lin Kedi scored twice with assists.

During the halftime break, Ten Hahe took the initiative to find Lin Kedi and said privately: "Lin, I understand that you have become the captain, and you want to have a sense of responsibility as a captain. Today's opponent is not strong, you can always do it for us." Teammates create opportunities. If the opponent is very strong, it is best to do it yourself if you have the opportunity. After all, your shooting ability is the best in the world."

"Don't worry, coach, I understand."

Tenhahe nodded with satisfaction.

After the start of the second half of the game, Lin Kedi's range of activities became even wider.

In the 70th minute, Lin Kedi moved to the right and made a cross, and Dericht scored with a header.

3:0.

Lin Kedi assisted a hat trick.

After the game, Lin Kedi was awarded the best player of the game as usual.

At the post-match press conference, reporters also asked questions.

Times reporter Andrew Setha asked the first question.

"Today you gave out 3 assists in the game. In the past, you were more famous for scoring goals. What caused you to choose assists instead of scoring goals in today's game?"

"I think when the team needs me to pass the ball, I will pass the ball. Today's three assists are actually because my teammates are in a better position than me and are more likely to score goals than me, so I chose Pass the ball and choose to assist. This has nothing to do with my ability to score goals."

The Guardian reporter then asked questions.

"Your number of goals in the Premier League has reached 36, and you have 17 assists. Both statistics rank first in the league. You are also first in the major European leagues. How do you achieve both shooting and passing? We have reached the top level in all aspects, do you think this is a tactical arrangement?"

"Of course there are tactical arrangements, but I don't think this is a tactical tilt, because the team's offense is balanced. This can be seen from the number of shots and various data. This is true. Admittedly, I don’t need too much explanation. As for the head coach’s tactical arrangements for me, I think the head coach’s arrangements for me are very simple, which is to let me better use my subjective initiative and what I think is good for the team. I know how to do it. I made a lot of retreats today because I think it will be good for the team, and judging from the results, I made the right choice!"

Finally, it was TA’s reporter. He asked a question that seemed boring at first glance, but was quite interesting if you thought about it carefully.

"For you, what's the difference between passing and shooting?"

"Of course there is a difference. Passing is something I have to do. I am not the kind of player who likes to stay at the front and wait for my teammates to pass the ball and then shoot directly. I like to pull out and pass the ball and catch the ball. I also I like to dribble the ball and directly fight with the opponent's defender. For these, passing is necessary and a must. Shooting is natural to me and is innate. In fact, I have not practiced shooting much. , I was already scoring goals in my first game after joining Ajax, and since then, my goals have not stopped, and shooting is the simplest thing for me."

The next day, he used Lin Kedi’s words on his front page. "Lin Kedi: Scoring goals is the easiest thing for me!" 》

Replace the shot with a goal.
-
The next day was a rest day, and Lin Kedi received an exclusive interview.

Lin Kedi originally wanted to turn it down directly, but agent Ali said that this was an exclusive interview with French Football.

Generally, they conduct exclusive interviews with players who have won the Ballon d'Or.

And this time, French Football will publish this exclusive interview together with China's Sports Monthly.

And this is an exclusive interview report with a text version and a video version.

Once Lin Kedi heard it, he would accept it.

It's just that today's rest day is probably going to be wasted for half the day.

After Lin Kedi agreed to be interviewed, reporters from French Football called.

Originally, French football reporters agreed to conduct interviews in a hotel.

However, after Lin Kedi learned that the other party's location was not far from his home, he directly suggested that he come to his home, right?
After hearing this proposal, the other party readily agreed and came.

It was only after arriving at Lin Kedi's home that Lin Kedi discovered that there were not only reporters from French Football, but also reporters from Sports Weekly.

The two parties introduced each other. What is interesting is that the reporter from French Football is named Mark.

The reporter from Sports Weekly is named Ma Kexin.

First, French football reporter Mark conducted the interview, and then Maxin conducted the subsequent interview.

Content from both sides is compiled into one article.

Without further ado, let's start directly.

The two parties found a person in the living room for an exclusive interview.

Lin Kedi has been interviewed too many times and is very familiar with various processes.

So there is nothing to say, just come here.

Mark asked his first question first.

Start with a simple question.

“How did you get involved in football?”

"I have said before that I was very interested in football when I was a child. At that time, I just liked playing football, but I basically didn't watch professional leagues. So I can say that when I was a child, I was more pure about football. Later, I got a little older, and until now, I still like playing football. But I may be different from most players. I don’t have any football idols, nor do I have any favorite clubs. Of course, now you If you ask me who my favorite clubs are, I would tell you Manchester United and Ajax."

"What do you think is your strongest skill? Some people say you are very fast, some people like your impact very much, and some people think your skills at the feet are very strong. What do you think is your strongest skill? ?”

"Of course it's archery. I have gone through a long period of training in many other skills. Archery is like an innate skill to me. All I need to do is get used to it in actual combat. Archery is very important to me. It’s my special skill, my strongest ability.”

"Then do you think your shooting skills have improved a lot now compared to when you first debuted?"

"My shooting skills have certainly improved. Although my strongest ability was my shooting skills at the beginning, after entering the professional arena, I know better where to shoot better, when to shoot better, and my head. Ball ability and free kick ability, these are skills that I have basically never used before, but in the professional arena, after using them, I found that I am indeed quite strong in these abilities."

"Who is your favorite player to work with at Manchester United and why?"

"In this current Manchester United team, if I can only choose one person, it must be De Jong. He often gives me assists. He and I are teammates and good friends. He knows my running positions and I also know his running positions, so he often Before I started, he knew I would run to that position, and the same is true for him, when he goes forward, I will know to pass the ball."

"What do you think is Manchester United's biggest challenge right now? How do you deal with it?"

"The biggest challenge is to get back to the top. Manchester United has been a top club since Sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge, and now this team has been away from the championship for too long. This is not a normal thing. And we are now The biggest challenge is to win the Premier League championship. As for how to deal with this matter, I believe our current results and points speak for themselves.”

“What are your training and eating habits?”

"I have a dedicated nutritionist who has formulated a set of healthy recipes for me that are both in line with my Chinese food habits. I always eat according to this, but generally if I am at the training base at noon, the food in Manchester United's cafeteria is very good. We generally eat two servings of protein, two carbohydrates, and two vegetables per meal. You can think of the size of your palm as the protein portion and the size of your clenched fist as the carbohydrate portion. Pasta and rice are more filling than potatoes. Good, because they contain more carbohydrates. The club nutritionist recommends eating things like sweet potatoes or dark whole grain rice, but the day before a game I eat something that releases energy quickly, like pasta. And During halftime, there will be a protein-based snack such as a protein-providing shake, nuts or protein balls, chicken kebabs or cottage cheese for muscle recovery and repair.”

"What special preparations do you make before the game? Do you have any little habits of your own?"

"Generally speaking, I wear headphones and listen to music before a game. This is also a way to keep myself calm. Then before I go on the court, I tie my shoelaces again, and that's it."
