Chapter 340: Golden Globe Odds Third, Karimova Pregnant

We have to say that it’s Donqiudi who has the most knowledge. Sofascore transferred the data to China as soon as the message was sent. In just a few minutes, this pinned message was forwarded by Donqiudi’s fans.

Although it is not official data, sofascore is based on data after all, so its accuracy is not too bad.

The weight of goals scored in the Champions League is the highest, which can be seen from the ranking of the award list. As the Champions League champions of the 15-16 season, Real Madrid has a total of 3 players (C Ronaldo, Bale, Pepe) among the top ten in the award rate. In addition, Ronaldo has become the biggest favorite for the Golden Ball Award with his terrifying data of 15 goals in the Champions League + 35 goals in the La Liga + 3 goals in the European Cup.

Of course, what Chinese fans care about most is not Ronaldo, but Jiang Yuan, who appears on this list for the first time. After all, Jiang Yuan has the blood of the Chinese nation flowing in his body, and he is a real family member.

After some discussion, some fans found something strange.

[Fuck, Xiao Jiang scored far more goals in the Champions League than Messi, and also scored one more goal in the league than Messi, why is Messi's award rate 2% higher than Xiao Jiang's? This is unreasonable! ]

[I like it. If you don't understand, just ask, is La Liga better than the Premier League? Isn't La Liga just Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid? What else is there besides these? ]

[…There are also national team matches. In the 16 America's Cup, Messi scored 5 goals. Isn't it normal that his odds are higher than Xiao Jiang's? You Ronaldo fans, don't say anything. Ronaldo scored 3 goals in the European Cup, but he also got the bonus of national team matches. Xiao Jiang played in the U23 Asian Cup and the Olympics, which did not count towards the Golden Ball points. He only played 2 rounds in the Asian preliminaries. Isn't it normal that he can't beat Messi and Ronaldo? ]

【66666666】

[What about Griezmann? Atletico Madrid is the runner-up of the Champions League. Griezmann also won the Golden Boot of the European Cup. Why is he not ranked high? ]

[Griezmann has not scored any goals in the league, nor in the Champions League, but he was a standout in the European Cup. How high can you expect him to rank? He can't be ranked higher than Xiao Jiang, right?]

[Why rush? There are still 2 months before the official winners are announced. Maybe someone can come up with a breakthrough.]

[Hot knowledge, the King of Reversal has the highest odds now, how can it be reversed? 】

[Fuck, why is there no Asian Cup this year? Damn it! If there was an Asian Cup, wouldn’t Jiang Yuan definitely score a goal?]

[It’s hard to say, actually. Chelsea is in the top 8 of the Champions League, and it’s basically impossible for any player to win the Ballon d’Or. All I can say is that Chelsea was still a little bit short of it last season.]

[Where’s my Big Bo? Damn it! Juventus is in the top 16 of the Champions League. It’s okay now. Touch my Big Bo. Poor Big Bo…]

[I still don't understand, why is Messi ahead of Xiao Jiang, just because of his 5 Copa America goals? Speaking of which, the Copa America was held once every 15 years, why is it still held this year? ]

[Hazard's ranking is low enough, but his form has improved in the new season, and his chances of winning the award should be higher in the end. But I feel that Cristiano Ronaldo will win the Golden Ball in the end. He scored 5 goals in a row in the knockout stage and almost got defeated. Fortunately, Atletico's defense is awesome, otherwise Jiang Yuan would have lost a Champions League Golden Boot.]

[Believe me, if you ask Jiang Yuan himself, he will also feel that he is not as good as Messi]

Players far away in Europe still don’t know the news about the Ballon d’Or winning rate, but the comment section of China’s football experts has already started a war.

Real Madrid logo + Chelsea logo + Manchester United logo + Sporting CP logo + Porto logo + China national team logo + Portugal national team logo versus Barcelona logo + Argentina logo. The core of the debate is why Messi's award rate is higher than Jiang Yuan, who won the Champions League Golden Boot.

Originally this was a battle between Chelsea fans and Barcelona fans, but Real Madrid fans and Ronaldo fans discovered the key point and took advantage of this opportunity to join forces with the Chelsea army and launched a powerful attack on the Barcelona fans.

Although Real Madrid and Chelsea are both on Jiang Yuan's camp, the views held by both sides are slightly different.

Chelsea fans believe that the Premier League Golden Boot + Champions League Golden Boot are more valuable than the La Liga Bronze Boot + America's Cup Silver Boot, and both Barcelona and Chelsea are in the top eight of the Champions League, so Messi's winning rate cannot be higher than Jiang Yuan's.

Real Madrid fans' opinions are very straightforward. They repeatedly emphasize one point, which is that Messi's Ballon d'Or odds were stolen. No matter how well Jiang Yuan performs, he can never be Messi's opponent in the Ballon d'Or.

During the debate, Barcelona and Argentina fans felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, as Chinese, they supported Jiang Yuan from the bottom of their hearts; on the other hand, Messi was their favorite star.

In order to confront the fans of Real Madrid and Chelsea, Barcelona fans need to belittle Jiang Yuan as much as possible, but the problem is that on Dongqiudi and Tieba, if you curse Jiang Yuan, someone will ask you to change your nationality, making it impossible for Barcelona fans to fight back.

Of course, the number of Barcelona fans and Argentine fans is huge, so the two sides can still fight for a while, but the origin of the dispute is related to the fans' position, so this dispute is destined to have no results.

Far away in London, Chelsea players were still training at Cobham base. Because Sofascore was not the Turin Sports Daily responsible for awarding the prize, the news did not spread among the players immediately.

But after the training, the big shot who was browsing on his phone in the locker room suddenly shouted: "Oh fuck! Why? Why am I not in the top ten? Who gave this ranking? Who gave it?"

"What top ten? Show me."

Zuma ran over and stuck his head out. His smiling face suddenly drooped after he read the content on his phone: "Fuck, I'm not in the top ten either, why is my name not on the list?"

"Of course you don't, how could you have?"

Pogba mocked his French compatriot: "The question is why my name is not here, look, look"

Pogba put his arm around Zouma's neck and motioned for Zouma to sit next to him. After Zouma sat down, Pogba began his analysis: "Ronaldo, Messi, it's normal that I can't compare with these two, no problem"

Zouma nodded and motioned for Pogba to continue.

"The third one is Jiang... ahem, I can't beat him either, I admit it, okay, the fourth one is Suarez, um... let's put this one aside for now, there's no rush"

Pogba pressed the screen with his index finger and slowly scrolled down: "Neymar, put this one aside for now. Hazard, well, Hazard is also on this. Hazard and I are good brothers, just like Jiang, so I won't compare him with Hazard. Pepe, the one from Real Madrid, well, he was really good in the Champions League, so it's normal that he ranks higher than me."

Pogba rolled down again, but there was no one behind him.

Zouma looked up into Pogba's eyes and said, "So? What do you want to say? Which of these 10 can you beat?"

"Hey, listen to me"

Pogba threw his phone aside: "This is the 2016 Ballon d'Or. I just performed averagely in Serie A this year. Look at me at Chelsea. I played very well."

"Um……"

Zuma looked thoughtful and finally nodded.

Pogba's performance in the first few games after joining Chelsea was a bit poor, but starting from the 5th and 6th rounds, the French midfielder began to slowly show his all-round attributes. His top-level advancement and vision helped Jiang Yuan and Ibrahimovic get a lot of scoring opportunities.

“So, not making the top ten isn’t really my problem.”

Pogba said frustratedly: "I should have come to Chelsea in the winter transfer window. In this case, if I don't compare with Ronaldo, Messi or Jiang, I should be ranked fourth, right?"

"fourth?"

Zouma frowned and said: "No, no, no, you are not as good as Suarez. Have you watched the La Liga games? Suarez is really good."

"Ok, then I won't compare with Suarez, I'll compare with Neymar. Although Neymar is great, I felt that Neymar last season was just average, wasn't he?"

Pogba took another step back and continued arguing with Zouma.

"No, no, no, Neymar, Paul, believe me, Junior is much better than you. Unless you can play every game like you did against Manchester United the day before yesterday, you will never be able to surpass Neymar!"

Zouma's tough attitude forced Pogba to take a few steps back. In order to gain recognition from his teammates, the Blues' 1 million signing made up his mind.

"Okay, next one, Bell..."

"..."

After taking off their socks and changing into slippers, the Chelsea players went to the physiotherapy room in groups of three or five. Jiang Yuan and Hazard learned from Zouma that they were in the top ten of the Ballon d'Or.

Jiang Yuan was fine. Hazard was actually a little surprised when he heard the news, because the Belgian knew his performance last season. To be honest, Hazard's entry into the top ten of the Ballon d'Or was indeed due to Chelsea's league championship last season. Of course, Hazard's outstanding performance in the first nine rounds of this season was also taken into consideration.

"Eden, if you had played better last season, you might have made it into the top five."

Terry glanced at Hazard who was sitting next to him and said with a smile, but Hazard just curled his lips. He had been expecting to win the Golden Ball this year from the beginning, so he didn't care about this so-called winning rate ranking.

The data company has counted the top ten players who are likely to win the award. Although it is called a top ten count, it is actually just for the fans' amusement. According to past experience, if the winning rate is lower than 25%, then you basically say goodbye to the Golden Ball Award.

Judging from the winning probability of the top ten, this year's Ballon d'Or will probably go to Cristiano Ronaldo, unless Messi and Jiang Yuan suddenly explode in the remaining two months, but this is also a low-probability event.

Speaking of Jiang Yuan, although he saw his name appear on the award-winning list, he still felt a little regretful.

Ibrahimovic and Azpilicueta chatted briefly, and then talked about Jiang Yuan: "If we had reached the Champions League final last season, maybe we could have kept the Golden Ball at Chelsea..."

The Swede only joined the team in January last season, but Ibrahimovic's characteristic is team awareness. Now he has completely regarded himself as a Chelsea player. He may not even be satisfied with being just a Chelsea player...

Terry leaned on the bed with both hands, looked up at Ibrahimovic who was three beds away from him, and wanted to say something against him, but he couldn't think of anything in the end, so he agreed with Ibrahimovic: "That's right, Jiang has 3 Champions League goals. If we make it to the final, he may win the Golden Ball."

At this point, the atmosphere in the entire therapy room fell silent.

It’s exciting to think about breaking Messi and Ronaldo’s monopoly on the Ballon d’Or!
Zuma winked at Jiang Yuan: "Jiang, I feel like you're almost there."

“Not even close!”

Jiang Yuan leaned on an oversized white pillow: "The problem is that we couldn't even make it to the finals last season. Manchester City, Real Madrid, who do you think we can beat?"

"It's because you don't have me!"

Pogba jumped up from the bed. If the bed board in Cobham's physiotherapy room was not made in Germany and of good quality, it would not have been able to withstand Pogba's blow: "Do you know why we lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League? Because you didn't have me in the midfield, and without me passing the ball to Jiang, how could you win?"

Everyone in the room looked at Pogba as if he was a fool. Pogba was confused and looked left and right, but he didn't realize that he had said anything wrong.

"Hey, Paul!"

Kante whispered: "Chelsea lost to Manchester City last season, not Real Madrid"

"It's all the same!" Pogba said with a serious expression: "With me passing the ball to Jiang and Zlatan, Manchester City is an unbeatable opponent. First in the Champions League, and then in the Ballon d'Or, Jiang is first and I am second. Perfect!"

After saying that, Pogba thought of something and pointed at Hazard beside him: "And Eden, Eden is third!"

"Come on, Paul, come on!"

Pogba almost made Mourinho laugh to death: "That's a good idea. Can we put it into practice this season and win the Champions League for fun?"

The Portuguese coached Porto to win the title in the 03-04 season and Inter Milan in the 09-10 season, winning a total of two Champions League titles. It's a pity that Mourinho never won the Champions League in his two coaching stints at Chelsea, which is a big regret in his coaching career.

"I think it's okay!"

Ibrahimovic raised his hands to show his approval to Mourinho, but the latter shook his head, said nothing, and left silently.

Pogba pointed at Mourinho who was walking away and looked at his teammates at the Blues: "Come on, he doesn't seem to believe we can win!"

"Paul, why don't you hurry up and show Jose what you can do!"

"I think it's okay, Paul. Give Jiang Chuan a few more assists and become the assist king of the Premier League. Then Jose will have to shut up!"

There was a lot of noise in the physiotherapy room. Pogba was arguing with other members of the team. Zouma looked around and finally sneaked to Jiang Yuan's bedside.

"Fuck, what are you doing?"

Zuma suddenly came over and scared Jiang Yuan out of his native language. Zuma waved his hand and said, "Jiang, let me tell you, do you know about Cesc? Cesc may not be able to leave this winter. Do you know why he can't leave?
Jiang Yuan stared, looking around in the physiotherapy room like Zuma. After confirming that Fabregas was far away from him, he signaled Zuma to continue, "Why?"

Judging from Fabregas' current situation, leaving Chelsea is undoubtedly his best choice, but Zouma actually said that Fabregas will not leave, which is indeed a bit strange.

“It seems that the club does not want to lose money”

Zouma drove away Sean who was doing fascial release on Jiang Yuan: "Other clubs can't offer a suitable price, so those senior executives want to keep Cesc and wait for him to recover before selling him."

"This……"

Jiang Yuan didn't know what to say. Keeping Fabregas on the bench for a difference of 1 or 2 million euros was indeed something a capitalist would do. It seemed reasonable, but if this was really the case, then Chelsea would be really inhumane.

Moreover, being a substitute will most likely give negative feedback. It cannot be said that Fabregas will be able to recover next season if he sits on the Chelsea bench for a season. Without the stimulation of continuous high-level games, Fabregas' condition will only get worse.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Zouma in front of him. Zouma said that they, the starting players, could unite and give feedback to the club, which might force the top management to sell Fabregas in the winter window.

"Well... you see what the others say. If Eden and John agree, I agree too."

Jiang Yuan expressed his attitude. He has a say in Chelsea, but his say is not absolute. If the problem really needs to be dealt with, it ultimately depends on the opinions of the old captain Terry and Hazard.

"Wow, shit"

Zuma looked at Jiang Yuan in disbelief: "Jiang, you know, Eden is exactly the same as he said."

"What did he say?"

"He said he would agree if you agreed, so do you agree or not?"

"..."

Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully, and finally said: "You go ask John, as long as John agrees, if possible, we can discuss this matter together."

Fabregas doesn't have any particularly good friends in Chelsea, and there are actually not many people who are really willing to help him. But after all, they are teammates in the same club. If something happens in the team, Jiang Yuan is still willing to help.

But because I don’t have any particularly good friends, this matter lacks a strong initiator, and whether it will succeed in the end is still unknown.

……

In the evening, Jiang Yuan returned home. Karimova came over and gave Jiang Yuan a hug. Then she knelt on the sofa and pinched Jiang Yuan's shoulders and neck with her hands: "I heard that no matter what kind of athlete, the shoulders will be more tired."

"That's about right. But, Alina, I actually have a physical therapist to help me relax..."

Jiang Yuan's words drew Karimova's eye roll: "Well, you are still the same, no fun at all"

"Okay, okay, just press it."

It was very relaxing for Jiang Yuan to feel the scent and warmth of Karimova's body at the end of each training session.

anyway.

"Elena, you're not wearing any makeup today."

Karimova gets up at 9 o'clock every day to put on makeup and removes it at 11 o'clock at night. This is a routine that Jiang Yuan knows. But today, it is not even 9 o'clock yet, and Karimova is still in the same bare-faced state as in the morning.

"what……"

Karimova pouted: "Is it because I don't look good today? Jiang, I'm sorry..."

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me."

Jiang Yuan reached out and hugged Karimova: "I'm just wondering why you didn't put on makeup today."

Karimova is a genuine Uzbek supermodel. She looks absolutely stunning without makeup. Of course, she would look even better with makeup.

"Let me show you this."

Karimova broke free from Jiang Yuan's hand and took out a small thing. Jiang Yuan, who was originally very relaxed, suddenly became tense after seeing the little thing and looked at Karimova in front of him blankly.

"Alina, you...are pregnant?"

“That’s it”

Karimova casually put the pregnancy test stick on the table and took the initiative to return to Jiang Yuan's arms. Jiang Yuan was in a very complicated mood at this time.

No wonder. Since last week, Jiang Yuan felt that something was wrong with Karimova. It turned out that there was something wrong with her stomach.

"hiss--"

Looking into Karimova's eyes, Jiang Yuan felt a surge of emotion.

I'm going to be a father...

"Why, are you unhappy?"

Karimova tapped Jiang Yuan on the forehead, and the latter shook his head quickly: "I'm not unhappy, it just feels a bit sudden and I'm not prepared."

Seeing that Karimova's eyes were not right, Jiang Yuan quickly added: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely want this child."

"Uh-huh"

Karimova gave Jiang Yuan a hug. She is only 18 years old this year, so the two are the same age. Karimova was born in Uzbekistan and went to South Korea with her parents when she was a child, where she began her modeling career.

When Jiang Yuan sent a private message to Karimova, her company asked her to seize the opportunity to take advantage of Jiang Yuan's popularity. Unexpectedly, the two of them fell in love as soon as they met. Then Jiang Yuan decisively paid Karimova 3500 million won (about 20 yuan) to terminate the contract with the company. The modeling agency felt that they made a profit, but upon closer thought, it seemed that they lost money, and it was a bit difficult to tell for a while.

Jiang Yuan's original plan was to continue living with Karimova, and he didn't think about having children. Unexpectedly, Mini Jiang was already in Karimova's belly.

You know, he and Karimova are only 38 years old together...

Karimova held Jiang Yuan's hand tightly. She could feel Jiang Yuan's nervousness. This nervousness was not due to the so-called parenting pressure, but came from the instinct of mammals.

"Come"

Karimova put Jiang Yuan's hand on her chest and rubbed it gently. Jiang Yuan was shocked and afraid that she would lose control, so she ran away quickly: "Please, Alina, you are pregnant now!"

But Karimova didn't care about that at all. She reached out and unbuttoned a button on her pajamas, picked up a pillow and walked towards Jiang Yuan. After approaching, Karimova threw the pillow on the ground, and then knelt down in front of Jiang Yuan: "Master... Master"

"hiss--"

……

The front page headline of The Sun - Jiang's girlfriend Elina Karimova confirmed her pregnancy, and the Chelsea superstar will welcome his first child.

Football expert comment: Xiao Jiang is the breadwinner of the family, his parents are unemployed, he has a younger brother, his girlfriend is pregnant, and his job is physical labor. He is under a lot of pressure.
