37-year-old C Lou why still so hard work

In the early morning of September 25, Beijing time, in the "UFA Europa League" group stage match, now 37-year-old superstar C Lou, led Portugal to a 4-0 away victory over the Czech Republic, he did not score a goal, but still had a header assist, and his nose bone injury bleeding, but still after simple treatment, insisted on playing until the end of the game. The end of the game, its so hard, so contentious attitude, and so defiant, so defiant spirit, really deserves people's admiration and respect!

In fact, C Lou in the national team of this game, still continue the general state in Manchester United - its full game of data for

A total of 37 touches, 4 shots were missed, missed 1 absolute scoring opportunity, 26 passes 22 successful, success rate 85%; sent 3 key passes, created 1 absolute scoring opportunity, sent 1 assist, 2 contests 1 successful, 7 lost possession, 2 fouls, handball foul sent 1 penalty, but the opponent did not score.

From the performance in the game, C Lou is obviously not performing as well as before, both in terms of speed and intensity; he has shown some signs of weakening in his shooting feeling and super self-confidence; C Lou also looks anxious in his mentality, although the grape team won 4-0, but from his many hand-spreading actions, C Lou is still difficult to be satisfied with his not scoring.

So, as a person who is about to 38 years old, why C Lou is still so desperate and all kinds of "disobedience"?

One, the spirit of defiance, obviously C Lou character, the most loved and respected elements, which is also a major feature of its persona image.

C Lou can really be compared with Mess, apparently at the age of 30 or so, when Mess has 4 gold balls, but it is in the Real Madrid this suitable system, and is in direct confrontation with Mess, more stimulated C Lou's competitive heart, which began to have the two Golden Ball Award 5 than 7 of you to catch up with me, there is also the so-called "Mel era, the great duo". The "perfect double" of the name.

It can be said that C Lou heart of all kinds of defiance, the spirit of the first, so that when he was 37 years old, is still so unwilling to lag behind, his heart still has "I am the best ever; I am the world's first, the world's second, the world's third" the ambition, pride and arrogance.

Of course, if we talk about it in a small way, C Lou does have a dream to surpass Mess, and after the Gallon d'Or has been drawn closer and closer, he has started to feel confident that he has surpassed Mess, Pele and Mara dona, and has become the "best ever" self-perception in his mouth, and the longer he plays, the more difficult it is to break some of his leading data and records. The longer he plays, the more difficult it will be to break some of his leading statistics and records, so there is now about to be 38 years old, C Lou still persistent, very concerned about the number of goals, and anxious to show themselves and other defiant, defiant performance.

Second, the economic factors make: insist on playing one more year, for C Lou won the economic return, is also extremely amazing.

C Lou's annual salary, plus endorsements, and his business, etc., in recent years are more than 100 million euros, and many times at the top of the list of world athletes.

Some people do not understand why C Lou would insist on leaving after only one year of the "sentimental drama" of his return to Manchester United, and must find a team with Champions League to play - in fact, the foreign media reports give a general answer: most of C Lou's endorsements are linked to If there is no Champions League to play, C Lou's financial loss is huge!

If C Lou retired now, or played "Buddhist" soccer, such as less eager and pursuit of victory and goals, in fact, will affect his business endorsement and marketing image, and thus significantly affect his family's lucrative income - this is also C Lou is about to At the age of 38, he still claims to be playing not only the Qatar World Cup but also Euro 2024.

If C Lou is not so much in pursuit, but at this age when others will retire, as well as home to enjoy the endless money, is not also quite fragrant? -- but know that a year is likely to sharply reduce the income of nearly 100 million euros, obviously not only for C Lou, for any athlete can not be on the annual income of hundreds of millions of Champions League is not interested in, right?

So that, from the very strong honor heart and great economic gains in return for two aspects of observation, can be an excellent explanation of C Lou why at the age of 37, so bleeding more than but still do not fire, still so spell, so fight; so defiant, not old reason.
