Chapter 170: Building Momentum
In terms of statistics, this season, Wang Po has scored 23 goals and 17 assists in various competitions, ranking first in the scorer list and the assist list. distance from the pursuer behind him.
In that era of bright stars, the "alien" Ronaldo won the World Footballer by virtue of his 47 goals in 49 games in Barcelona at the age of 20. At the age of 21, he was known as the "Little World Cup" at the time. It is said that the Serie A team Inter Milan, the most influential league champion in the world, scored 34 goals in 47 games and won the Ballon d'Or, becoming the youngest winner. This record has not been broken so far.
Compared with Ronaldo at his peak, Wang Po's statistics are comparable, but his platform and gold content are slightly inferior.
After all, being able to score 34 goals in Serie A, which is known for its defense, was shocking at the time.
But then again, Wang Po is already satisfied if he can compare himself with Ronaldo.
It's hard for anyone who has watched the "Aliens" play football not to be conquered by such a player.
That's enough.
"You brat, did you miss me?"
When the familiar figure of Hamburger appeared at the door of the dormitory, Wang Po's heart trembled. This grinning fat man had been missing for almost two months. He didn't answer his phone calls and didn't reply to his messages. It was as if he had disappeared from the world and suddenly fell from the sky. He was a little unbelievable when he appeared in front of him like a divine weapon.
Without saying anything, Wang Po gave Hamburger a big hug as soon as he came up.
"Where have you been these days?" After some pleasantries, Wang Po couldn't help but ask.
It can be seen that when Hamburg came back this time, he looked haggard and had lost a lot of weight.
"I took care of some personal matters. It's fine now. You won't deduct my salary, will you?" Hamburger waved his hand and said with a grin.
It could be seen that Hamburg was unwilling to talk more about this matter, and Wang Po was sensible and did not ask further questions.
After a pause, Hamburg continued, "I'm already making arrangements with the media."
"Arrangement? What arrangement?" Wang Po was confused after hearing this, with black question marks on his face.
Hamburg blurted out, "The Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer."
"That's just Tuchel's commercial flattery. Do you really take it seriously?" Wang Po smiled.
Hamburg shook his head seriously, "I think based on your current performance and data, you can hit these two awards. Try to set a new record."
"Do you think Tuchel's words were just pure praise for you? No, I don't think so. I'm afraid it was a statement carefully planned by the Dortmund club."
Obviously, Hamburg meant something.
These words aroused Wang Po's curiosity: "Huh? How do you say it?"
"As far as I know, many wealthy teams have begun to raise funds to take you away from Borussia Dortmund this summer. The club is open to this transfer."
Hamburg raised his eyebrows and said. "If you can become a candidate for the World Footballer and be nominated for the Ballon d'Or, I'm afraid your worth will be much higher by then. When it comes to buying and selling players, Dortmund's gameplay is very clever, so I believe it. What I said is absolutely not groundless.”
"I'm afraid, this is just the beginning. I believe that the Dortmund club is also starting to prepare to publicize you in public opinion. If so, I don't mind adding fuel to the fire."
As he said that, Hamburg had a sly look in his eyes.
"Is it too early to log into a wealthy family now?"
After all, according to the previously formulated career plan, Wang Po will stay in Dortmund for at least two years.
"The plan is not as good as the change. I have to say that I was blind at the time and underestimated the speed of your growth."
Hamburg shook his head and said.
…
The next day, the headlines of all major sports sections focused on the Wang Bo Golden Globe Award and the selection of the World Footballer.
"Such dominance deserves a Ballon d'Or nomination and a World Footballer of the Year nomination."
"Dominating the Bundesliga, dominating the Champions League, a new "alien" was born."
…
Various exaggerated and eye-catching headlines were posted, and for a while, Wang Po became the focus of world football.
Under the bombardment of such headlines, passerby fans intentionally or unintentionally began to search for Wang Po's information, watch his games, and highlights.
In just one day, Wang Po gained 300,000 followers on social media.
Wang Po’s highlights on YouTube have over 100 million views.
Hot, unprecedentedly hot.
Anne's new football is even titled "Winning the Champions League, aiming for the World Player of the Year, and the Ballon d'Or".
Although the title is hot, the content is objective and fair enough.
Frankly speaking, Wang Po's repeated god-like performances are enough for him to pursue these two honors, but the platform does not have advantages, there are almost no excellent team honors, and a Bundesliga championship seems a bit difficult to win.
In terms of public opinion, with Dortmund and Hamburg, the planning of Anne's new football team has made Wang Po more popular and the voice louder.
The players themselves devote all their energy to preparing for the next league game.
Facing Werder Bremen at home will be Wang Po's 100th official game in his career.
Time flies, and I recall that when I first entered professional football, I had infinitely similar prospects. The wasted half-season in Porto, the blockbuster success in Benfica, and the emergence of logging into the Bundesliga and entering the mainstream league.
Everything seems like just yesterday.
On the day of the match, the former club Benfica congratulated Wang Po on his 100th career match on its official social media.
So thoughtful.
The warmth of this continued attention is like a parent watching his child grow up.
No matter where he is, Benfica will always be Wang Po's home.
Benfica fans will always be like family.
For such a memorable match, Dortmund fans also prepared a special gift for Wang Po.
In the die-hard fans' stand, a huge banner was displayed, on which Wang Po was depicted wearing a Dortmund jersey with the word 100 printed on it, and "100 games are just the beginning, the future is unlimited, the king of Dortmund" was written in Chinese.
It can be seen that Dortmund fans are full of expectations for their star.
The atmosphere of the devil's home court is self-evident.
Wang Po started the game. In this game, Tuchel did not assign him any special tasks. He just said simply, "Go on the court and play well."
"Beep"
The referee blew the whistle and the game began.
With the power of the home court and the absolute advantage in strength, Dortmund firmly took the initiative on the field from the beginning of the game, and pressed the weak Werder Bremen team into its own defensive third zone with overwhelming force. The continuous attack and pressure made the Bremen defensive players feel suffocated.
In this game, Wang Po's teammates on the front line also cooperated with him, intending to let him get a beautiful data in this special game.
