Chinese champion

Chapter 207

Mallorca's dramatic victory in the last round shocked the entire European football world. You must know that before the start of the season, among the winning odds offered by several major European football betting companies for the top five European league teams, Mallorca's It is the highest, reaching 63 for one companion!The miraculous victory of Mallorca in the end caused heavy losses to the three major gaming companies, and to the delight of Mallorca fans, most of the betting orders for Mallorca to win the La Liga championship came from Mallorca. It can also be regarded as making a certain contribution to the economic development of Mallorca.

La Liga is the last of the top five European leagues to decide the championship. Prior to this, AC Milan, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Lyon have all won the championship of this league. Among them, AC Milan and Arsenal won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule. , Lyon and Bayern are one round ahead.

"Mallorca wins the championship = La Liga strong team sinks? Gazzetta dello Sport used this headline to describe this season's La Liga: "Although Spanish critics have emphasized that this season's La Liga has entered an era of competition for hegemony, the degeneration of several old strong teams is indisputable. In fact, although Barcelona has entered the stage of revival, they played really badly in the first half of the season, and Real Madrid has been overwhelmed by Real Sociedad last year. Although they regained the championship in the end, their strength The decline is also well known, Valencia has been very stable, but they paid a heavy price for the loss at home to Mallorca, and it was after that game that Mallorca went all the way to win the remaining nine games. Eight victories in the game, and finally Mallorca, the biggest dark horse, finally came to fruition after two seasons of dormancy!"

The French "L'Equipe" commented much more pertinently: "After three years of step-by-step procedures, Mallorca finally won their first league championship in history. They would like to thank the former coach Aragones. It is the old coach who laid a solid foundation for Mallorca in the first two years and shaped the solid central axis of Nadal-Pei Wei-Eto'o for Mallorca. I don’t know how long the Miracle of Loca can last. There are only two years left in the contract between Pei Wei and Inter Milan. Whether Inter Milan recycles Pei Wei or sells him to other teams, Mallorca is doomed to lose. The soul of the midfielder, next year, will we still see this invincible Mallorca team?"

With the end of the major leagues, there is only one major event left in the European arena, and that is the Champions League final on May 5. Both sides are the two dark horses of this season's Champions League: Portugal's Porto and French Monaco!
Another Chinese!On the field of the Champions Cup final, for the first time a Chinese figure appeared, and that was Monaco's No. [-] Zhang Qi!

This season Monaco can be said to have suffered a lot in the Champions League. You must know that their opponent after entering the quarter-finals is the Spanish giant, Real Madrid, which has won the most Champions Leagues in history!They first lost to their opponents 2:4 in the away game. Just when everyone thought their road to the Champions League was over, they returned home with amazing energy. Giuly's two goals and The icing on the cake of Real Madrid's abandoned player Morientes made Raul's efforts useless. 3:1, they eliminated Real Madrid by relying on away goals and successfully entered the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, their opponents received Abramovich injection funds Chelsea, it was another 3:1. They defeated their opponents at home. Zhang Qi assisted Pursau and Morientes with two assists, and he himself scored a beautiful free kick. , and then they drew with their opponents 2:2 in the away game and successfully advanced to the final.

For European fans, there is only one game left this season, and for Chinese fans, they can still enjoy two games related to them. In addition to the Champions League, the Spanish King's Cup will be held on June 6 In the final, Zhu Jun's Sevilla team will compete with Real Madrid for the championship.

Before the start of the Champions League final, Pei Wei, Hu Yong, Li Min, Du Wei and Wu Qi, who had already finished their tasks, rushed to the Aofu Schalke Stadium, ready to cheer for Zhang Qi. He stayed in Seville to prepare for the Copa del Rey game and was unable to attend, for which he was very angry.

"The opponent is Porto, so it's a good omen." Hu Yong, who was sitting in the VIP seat, suddenly said this inexplicably.

"Why is it a good sign?" Wu Qi asked strangely: "Porto's strength is not bad. They also entered the final after eliminating Manchester United and Barcelona. The strength of these two teams is similar."

"Didn't Pei Wei's Mallorca also meet Porto in the final last year? They won. It seems that this year Zhang Qi's Monaco will also benefit from last year's Pei Wei's glory and win this game." Hu Yong smiled. speak.

"I didn't expect you to be so superstitious." Pei Wei shook his head.

"It's really uncertain." Li Min said enthusiastically: "Maybe it's true. What Porto is afraid of is that there will be a team with our Chinese players, and they will get 'neophobia'!"

"I hope so..."

The game started. Zhang Qi appeared in Monaco's starting lineup. Didier Deschamps seemed to value him very much. He let Zhang Qi play in the right midfield position, but it was not fixed. When Giuly on the striker retreated to the midfield At times, Zhang Qi will move to the center to organize the team through his skills, and when Jiuli is on top of the striker, Zhang Qi will return to the right, and the center will be on top of Luo Teng.

This style of play has achieved certain results in the opening stage. In the 3rd minute, it was Zhang Qi's through pass that gave Jiuli a single-handed chance. Unfortunately, Jiuli was at a disadvantage in the direct dialogue between the two captains. The experienced Baier rushed out of the penalty area to make a clearance, and Monaco lost a good opportunity.

In the No. 203 minute of the first half, an unexpected situation on the field caused the situation of an evenly matched match to become unsteady, which also made the following game a one-sided game.

In a fight in the front court, Zhang Qi was kicked in the thigh by the opponent's midfielder Costinia, and was diagnosed by the team doctor as a muscle strain. Although it was not serious, he was unable to play in this game. He was replaced, and before half an hour arrived, Monaco lost a general first.

"Stingy is injured!" Du Wei pointed at the field and cried out, Hu Yong thumped his thigh heavily: "Damn it, why is his luck so bad?"

"Now Monaco is in trouble." Pei Wei sighed, "Originally Didier Deschamps was going to use the pass in the midfield to find opportunities for the three forwards in front. Now that Xiaoqi is injured, Monaco's midfielder is less. Although Giuly is good at breaking the ball, he is not good at organization."

Wu Qi looked at Zhang Qi, who was sitting on the sidelines receiving treatment, with worry in his eyes: "It seems that Monaco's luck has been used up in the previous games. They were on the verge of elimination a few times and survived, but This time... it's going to be hard to get through."

His words were unfortunately true. In the 309th minute, Porto teenager Alberto, who started for the first time in the Champions League, caught a mistake made by the Monaco defender and scored a volley with his right foot into the right side of the goal at the penalty spot. Porto leads 1-0.

After the start of the second half, the Monacos started to attack crazily, but without Zhang Qi, their midfielder lacked some skills. Although Jiuli and Luo Teng continued to instigate the offensive on the two wings, they seemed a little powerless without the support in the middle.Didier Deschamps' eyes also showed a little anxiety.

Monaco, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was counterattacked twice by the opponent. The two goals of Deco and Alenichev made the Monaco completely lose confidence. In the end, Porto defeated the opponent 3:0 and won the European championship this season. Cup champion, Mourinho finally succeeded this year after falling short in the UEFA Cup last year. He also became the youngest head coach ever to win the UEFA Cup.

After the game, Zhang Qi covered his face and cried bitterly, because his injury caused the team to suffer a big defeat. Although no one blamed him, he still couldn't forgive himself.

"The Champions Cup... I passed you by today, but one day, I will win you under the spotlight!"

Looking at the starry sky, Zhang Qi silently made a vow in her heart.

"The game is over." Pei Wei stood up: "Stingy must be very sad, let's go comfort him."

"Let him stay alone first." Hu Yong stopped him: "Let's ask him out at night."

In the sighs of countless Monaco fans and Chinese fans, Monaco won the runner-up of the Champions Cup this season, and the Chinese missed the first European Champions Cup trophy in history.

But what made them happy was that in the final of the Copa del Rey half a month later, Sevilla defeated the listless Real Madrid 2-0 in Bernawood and won the Copa del Rey. The fourth trophy he won in the European arena, the first three were the La Liga championship won by Pei Wei and the double championship won by Wu Qi.

Before the arrival of the summer holidays, the leagues of various countries have carried out a big inventory, and Chinese fans are undoubtedly most interested in La Liga and Liga, because in these two leagues, the champions have the shadow of Chinese people!

The first is La Liga.

"35 games played in the league, a total of 2643 minutes! Scored 17 goals, 27 direct assists, received 3 yellow cards, no red card records, 32 starts, [-] substitutes..."

This is Pei Wei's record in La Liga this season, not including seven goals and two assists in the Champions League!

This is undoubtedly the data of a world-class player!
The fourth place in the scorer list, the first place in the assist list, and a glittering league championship coat!

This season, Pei Wei has perfectly demonstrated the meaning of this position to everyone in the midfielder position. The fourth place in the scorer list proved his scoring ability, and he ranked first in the assist list and pulled No.2 Riquelme down. The number of assists for a full seven times proves his organizational ability!
Everyone knows that Pei Wei will not stay in Mallorca for too long. A player with such strength should have a giant family worthy of his strength!

Just who is this giant?Is it the old club Inter Milan, or Manchester United looking for a new midfielder, or Chelsea with deep pockets?

No matter which team he goes to, people have reason to believe that this 21-year-old midfield star has a bright future!
Although Sevilla only won No.8 in the league, the Copa del Rey championship will undoubtedly give them the greatest comfort. At the same time, they are also facing the distress that important players under their command will be poached!The two most important players-the left midfielder Zhu Jun and the midfielder Baptista have become the targets of competition for the giants, and they have no ability to keep these two players at the same time!

Anderlecht's Wu Qi performed as well as Pei Wei. This season Anderlecht won the league and cup double championships, and the UEFA Cup also entered the quarterfinals, but was defeated by the final champion Valencia disuse.Their patron saint, Wu Qi, the number one goalkeeper of the League One, contributed a lot to his performance. He has played eleven games in a row, and the record of 1309 minutes without conceding a goal is an unprecedented statistic in the history of League One!

And in his true sense, the Manchester United club has not been pursuing the newly promoted Chinese international for a day or two, but temporarily gave up because the labor certification problem could not be resolved, but after the end of this season's Premier League, it is called The antiquated FA finally made a decision in line with public opinion, changing the residence period of other African international players in Europe from four years to three years, and Wu Qi just reached the target of three years after the end of this season. Joining Manchester United is already a certainty!
In the Premier League, Tottenham won the best result in recent years, No.6. This result is enough to make Tottenham fans who haven't seen their team appear in the European arena for a long time laugh from ear to ear, and Li Min almost Played all the games throughout the year. In addition to his excellent defense, this tall Chinese defender also has an excellent free kick. This season, he scored five goals, all of which were powerful free kicks.

Bundesliga, Freiburg's final relegation success has to thank one person, that is Du Wei!Although the captain of the Chinese Olympic team missed some games this season, their outstanding performance in the Bundesliga in the last few games cannot be separated from Du Wei's dedication!It is with Du Wei behind the defensive frontcourt players that they can attack with confidence, and when the team gets a set kick, Du Wei's header is also an important means for Freiburg to score.

In Ligue [-], although Monaco finished runner-up in the final of the Champions League, and was overtaken by old rival Lyon in the league due to too much emphasis on the Champions Cup and only ranked second, Monaco's performance still made their fans crazy!The midfield iron triangle Jiuli, Luo Teng and Zhang Qi are all hot right now, but I don't know how many people will be in this team next season!

In Serie A, Brescia fans have reason to be pessimistic about their team's campaign next season, because their prince Roberto Baggio will retire at the end of this season, and their midfielder Hu Yong has also been initialed with Udinese Signed the contract, and will report to "Wuji" after returning from vacation in China!After the two main players leave, will Brescia end their five-year Serie A journey?

Chinese fans feel that they have never been so elated. A series of wonderful performances of Chinese players in Europe has fully proved that in terms of players, the Chinese team is now the real No. [-] team in Asia!This also makes the fans put their best hopes on the Asian Cup to be held in China in mid-July.

Think about it, the champion of La Liga, the main runner-up of the Champions League, the best goalkeeper of the League, plus the star players of Tottenham, Freiburg, Sevilla and Brescia, these people are all concentrated in one team, Which team in Asia can compete?
What's more, the host of this Asian Cup is in China! With the enthusiasm of 14 billion people coupled with strong strength, is there any doubt about the Chinese team winning the Asian Cup this time?

The Football Association also has the confidence to announce the goal of "winning the championship" before the start of the game. Fang Yatao is not as secretive as Yan Wenqiang. His goal is very clear. As long as these Chinese players can show their true level, Is there any difficulty in winning a championship in Asia?What's more, we are still competing at our own doorstep!
The only thing that worries him is the head coach of the Chinese team, Ali Han. This stubborn Dutch old man has always been prejudiced against Pei Weizhujun and others. However, after the mission of the Olympic team ended, he immediately appointed He Jin to the national team. Together with Feng Yu, he became Ali Han's assistant. With He Jin and Feng Yu around, it should help Ali Han to make a correct judgment to a certain extent.

Fang Yatao didn't like Ali Han, not because Ali Han was the coach hired by Yan Wenqiang when he was in office, but because this old Dutch man always only arranged players he admired to play, and his defensive style of play was also true. It is not suitable for a team that is about to win the championship, but because Ali Han has led the team well since he took office, Fang Yatao has no reason to fire him like this.

The media are also very active in publicity. When the Asian Cup is approaching, an advertisement on CCTV clearly shows their desire for the championship: "2004 Asian Cup, witness the birth of a new Asian overlord." This sentence seems to be implicit, Actually clear.The key to the new overlord lies in the word "new". Among the favorites to win the Asian Cup this year, only the Chinese team has not won the honor of being the Asian champion. It is clear who the new overlord refers to, except for the Chinese team Who else?

Before the start of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team, which did not recruit overseas players, swept Malaysia 4-0 at home in the World Cup qualifiers, making a good start for the upcoming Asian Cup.
