Chinese champion

Chapter 329 The Blue-Black Empire Bet
As Inter Milan beat Sampdoria to win their second trophy within a month, the 06-07 season of the Apennines has completely come to an end. For fans who pay attention to the European League, before the arrival of this summer, There are just two notable games left in Europe.

The last two games are also the two most important games, the UEFA Cup final and the Champions League final.

Compared with the Champions League final on June 6, the UEFA Cup final on June 15 can only be regarded as an appetizer before a big meal, but for Chinese fans, this should have been an ordinary final. With an unusual meaning.

The Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland is the venue for the 06-07 UEFA Cup final. On June 6, they ushered in the two final teams, Ajax from Eredivisie and La Liga Seville.

After seeing these two names, everyone must already know why Chinese fans are so interested in this game. Yes, both teams have a Chinese player, and they are both absolute main players. Needless to say, since he came to Seville in 2001, he has become the absolute main force of this team. After Reyes, Baptista and Ramos have left the team one after another, he has become a captain at the captain level. The leader, the left attack line formed by him and the Brazilian left back Adriano Jr. has become the sharpest weapon in Sevilla, while Zhuang Feng is a more legendary figure, from an unknown The college player has become the main striker and the top scorer of the super teams in the top European leagues, and his blockbuster is even more interesting.

Under such circumstances, in China, the sensation caused by this game is even greater than the Champions Cup final three days later.

Sevilla, the defending champion of the UEFA Cup, and their performance has been steadily rising in recent years, and some people have even compared them to Mallorca three years ago, but they seem to be unlucky. The opponent in the world is Barcelona, ​​which is in full swing, and Real Madrid, which is trying to revitalize. Like the miracle champion of Mallorca three years ago, there is an element of luck in it. At that time, Real Madrid had already begun to decline, while Barcelona had not yet risen. This is an unprecedented good opportunity. If the current Sevilla team was placed three years ago, maybe they would also have a "Seville Miracle".

Even so, Sevilla has occupied the first place in the standings several times during the game this season, but because of the lack of foundation and the fact that Barcelona is too strong, in the end the champion of La Liga was still defeated by Barcelona. Obtained, Real Madrid came in second, and Sevilla came in third.

As for Ajax, how many people don't know the largest arsenal in European football?It's just that the most successful team in the history of Chicago and Holland has been unlucky in recent years and has a poor record. Last season, it only ranked fourth in the Eredivisie and could only condescend to play in the UEFA Cup. After Kong was born, Ajax regained the league championship and Dutch Cup championship in one fell swoop, put the two old rivals Eindhoven and Feyenoord under pressure, and also reached the final of the UEFA Cup. Now that the Champions League champion is getting farther and farther away from the Dutch team, Ajax's season has been considered very successful.

The strong rise of Ajax this season is inseparable from the excellent performance of Zhuang Feng. The forward line formed by him and Huntelaar has become the most frightening forward line in the Eredivisie. Scored 56 goals, and what's even more frightening is that this striker has scored goals in all the matches Ajax has participated in in the Eredivisie this season!
Zhuang Feng became the top scorer of the Eredivisie League this season with 32 goals just half a month ago. This is also the first top scorer title for a Chinese in the top European leagues. Focusing on the performance of this Chinese striker, it is difficult for Ajax to keep this super striker.

It is precisely because of the reasons mentioned above that He Jin brought the entire newly formed Olympic team to Scotland to watch the game live. You must know that watching such a high-level game on the spot is very important for most players who are playing football in China. It is a good learning opportunity for the Chinese Olympic team.

Since the leagues of European countries have basically ended, the lineup under He Jin, the head coach of the Chinese national team and the Olympic team, has finally been assembled. In the past two years, the national team has not had any important games, so the Chinese Football Association decided In the Asian Cup held this summer, the Olympic team will be sent to participate in the competition to test the strength of this team.

In terms of staffing, this team is considered luxurious in Asia. Among these players, Dong Yuzhuo, who played for Manchester United, and Deng Yunfeng, who played for Rome, are represented, supplemented by the big players from the 2005 World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. With brilliant attacking midfielder Chen Bo, forward Gao Lin, defensive midfielder Lu Yinzhe, Zhou Hai and defender Feng Xiao, He Jin has sufficient confidence to achieve good results in the Asian Cup.

The Asian Cup is just a place for training. What He Jin is focusing on is the 2008 Olympic Games.

The procrastinating FIFA did not make a decision not to allow players over the age of 23 to participate in the Olympics, which also gave He Jin more confidence. In his heart, he had already thought of three players who could maximize the strength of the Olympic team. A tough overage player.

Pei Wei is definitely one of them. He Jin knows that with Pei Wei, the strength of a team must be increased by at least [-]%. To achieve good results, Pei Wei must be recruited.

As for the remaining two candidates, He Jin took a lot of thinking.

Since the Chinese Olympic team was not able to participate in the 2004 Athens Olympics, all players of the right age in that session were eligible to participate in this session of the Olympics. It's a good thing, if it wasn't for their perverse actions, Pei Wei and the others would have participated in the Athens Olympics long ago, how would they be eligible to participate in the BJ Olympics?

But this also made He Jin picky - which one is a first-class star, which one is his direct disciple, it is hard to say who will be sent and who will not be sent.

After a lot of headaches, He Jin could only choose the weak position in the Olympic team.

Wu Qi was ruled out first, not because his strength and position are unimportant, a good goalkeeper can stand up to half of the team, but now the Chinese Olympic team already has Wang Lei, who makes the coaching staff of Inter Milan feel unimportant. Appreciative goalkeeper, there is no need to waste precious places on the goalkeeper. Similarly, Hu Yong was also excluded. As for the midfielder position, the Olympic team already had two good players, Lu Yinzhe and Zhou Hai, and they also There is no need to recruit him into the team.

He Jin really wanted to call Zhang Qi in, but Zhang Qi was not willing to go to the Olympic team to grab his younger brother's job, and Zhang Wen is also a very characteristic player, his wing breakthrough is almost catching up with his brother .

After thinking about it for a long time, He Jin set his sights on Zhuang Feng and Zhu Jun.

There is no problem with Zhu Jun's selection. The left side has always been a relatively weak area of ​​the Olympic team. His sideways breakthrough will bring strong vitality to the team, and the tacit understanding between him and Pei Wei is also one of the reasons why He Jin chose him.

Zhuang Feng is to make up for the flaws in the striker line. Originally, the striker of the Chinese team is not considered strong. Dong Yuzhuo has just played the main substitute for Manchester United. Although Gao Lin's strength is good, it is only for Asian teams. Facing European and American tycoons above, his poor scoring ability will definitely be a big problem.

This is also an important reason why He Jin brought the Olympic team to watch the game. When these boys observed the outstanding performance of the two of them at close range, it had an immeasurable positive effect on the integration of the two of them into the team.

As soon as He Jin made this decision, Zhu Jun and Zhuang Feng suffered a lot. You must know that tickets for such an important game are very difficult to get, not to mention the entire Olympic team and He Jin called to watch the fun together. Pei Wei, Hu Yong and others add up to nearly 40 people. Fortunately, the organizing committee allocated a lot of tickets to the two teams in the final. In addition, Zhu Jun and Zhuang Feng are very popular in the team. It's all done.

********************************************
"He Tou, long time no see!" The night before the game, when Pei Wei came to the hotel where the Olympic team was staying, he gave He Jin a big hug as soon as he saw him.

"Good boy, you seem to be a little taller now? I want to look up to you now!" He Jin, who is just over 1.7 meters tall, said with a smile, "How many of them are there?"

"I called them all before departure, and they should be here soon! Wu Qi and Li Min should be here, right? They are all playing in the Premier League. Isn't it convenient to come to Scotland?"

"The two of them came early and are resting in the lobby, let's go, let's go together!"

Not long after Pei Wei came to the lobby with He Jin, Hu Yong, Du Wei, Zhang Qi and others also arrived one after another. The friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time were naturally very affectionate when they met.

Including the people from the Olympic team, the whole lobby was almost packed with a group of people. This was specially arranged by He Jin. Basically, this group of people had never been together very much, so sitting together and communicating like this would be beneficial to their cooperation in the future. Great benefit.

Deng Yunfeng is obviously not familiar with the other Olympic players. No wonder, he has been abroad all the time and has not participated in any training camps in China. It was not until Pei Wei and Hu Yong, two seniors who played football in Italy, came that what he said It gradually increased.

On the other hand, the other Olympic players seemed very restrained. After all, most of them who played in China felt very far away from Pei Wei, a name that was already well-known in Europe. Slow down and relax.

"Tomorrow's game, which one do you like?" During the chat, He Jin suddenly asked Pei Wei.

Pei Wei laughed: "This...it's really hard to say! Both of them have a good relationship with me, and I don't want to lose either!"

"You guy, of course you want Zhu Jun to win! Who doesn't know that you and Zhu Jun are hardcore!" Wu Qi said with a smile.

"But emotionally, I hope Zhuang Feng wins, because he needs this championship to find a brighter future for his future."

On the surface, Pei Wei's words meant that Zhu Jun's strength had been proven in the European arena, while Zhuang Feng was still under observation, but the deeper meaning was that Pei Wei hoped that Zhuang Feng's strength could be further improved. Only in this way can more wealthy families invite him to join at a high price, and Zhuang Feng will have more money to help his wife An Lei treat her illness.

Others naturally didn't know the reason, so Zhang Qi "cut": "You guy, you really forget the old friends after meeting new friends, I disagree! Tomorrow's game, Sevilla must win! "In the national team, apart from Pei Wei and Wu Qi, probably Zhang Qi and Zhu Jun have the best relationship, probably because they exchanged feelings on the pool table.

"Then do you want to block it?" Pei Wei asked with a smile.

"Just bet, I'm afraid of you?" Zhang Qi got excited: "How much to bet?"

In front of a group of Olympic teenagers, Pei Wei stretched out a finger: "100 yuan."

"RMB?" Zhang Qi asked seriously.

Pei Wei nodded.

"It's a bet!" Zhang Qi clapped her hands.

The eyeballs of the Olympic team members next to them almost popped out: These two guys started talking so lively, and they only bet 100 yuan?

Even those aunts who sell vegetables can't win or lose more than this number in card games, right?
He Jin smiled, and suddenly asked them: "You think this is incredible?"

The Olympic players froze for a moment, then nodded one after another. They really thought it was unbelievable. The annual salary of the two exceeded 300 million euros (among them, after signing the super contract, Pei Wei’s annual income has surpassed Ronaldinho’s to become the world football player. The star of the first highest paid player actually bet only 100 yuan?And it's RMB, it's just a joke!
Not to mention those old Jianghu in the former A-A, even if they are juniors playing cards, they can win or lose at least a few thousand...

"There are not a lot of people playing football in China. In the youth team I led back then, there were quite a few of them who were as talented as them. Why are they the only ones who can achieve what they are today?" He Jin suddenly became serious: "None of them smokes. Even if they drink, they only drink a small amount of beer or red wine at most. They usually eat very carefully and don't eat anything that may increase excess fat. Their private life is also very restrained... What you saw just now The bet between Zhang Qi and Pei Wei was just a joke between them. In fact, they have never entered the casino. A football star depends not only on their talent, but also on self-discipline. If you If you want to be like them in the future, you'd better learn their attitude towards life."

He Jin pointed to Pei Wei: "Look at Pei Wei, he is now famous, the absolute main force of Inter Milan, the core of the midfielder, and the highest paid football player in the world, but do you know? In daily training, he Always the last person to leave the training ground, Zhang Qi, Monaco's number one free kick expert, he has to practice [-] extra free kicks every day, not to mention Hu Yong, he basically has no private life of his own... Hu Yong, I’m going to talk about you on this point, work hard, don’t be too monotonous, they all have girlfriends, and you haven’t moved at all, do you want the Hu family to end?”

Everyone else was amused by He Jin's witty words after the serious words, but He Jin's words left unspeakable emotions in the hearts of these young players. It turns out that geniuses are trained in this way... …

************************************
On the second day at the Hampden Park Stadium, amidst the loud cheers, the two teams participating in the final filed out, and the cheers immediately reached a peak!
The south stand is red and white, which is the color of Ajax, while the north stand is white, which is the main color of Seville!

The young players of the Chinese Olympic team watching the game from the stands were shocked. The fanatical fans, the atmosphere so strong that it almost exploded, is this a European-level game?

If you don't come to the scene in person, you will never imagine how shocking that scene is.

The other players who play in Europe are rare and strange, but they are indeed qualified to do so. Compared with those boys, they are already experienced veterans, although most of them There is also no chance to stand on such a stage...

"I bet 100 yuan that Zhuang Feng will definitely score today." Pei Wei said with a smile.

"I bet 200 yuan, Zhu Jun will definitely have an assist today." Wu Qi also added.

Nobody bet against them.

Zhuang Feng's scoring rate is already a terrifying number. He scored 34 goals in 35 rounds in the Eredivisie League. This number is not even achieved by many great names. Romario No, neither did Ronaldo. In such an important game, will Zhuang Feng score?What a joke!
What's more, Ajax will definitely play around Zhuang Feng. With Zhuang Feng's performance this season, Ajax will definitely not be able to keep this hot striker next season. If Zhuang Feng's performance is better, it is estimated that the benefits of transferring him will be higher?Ajax's club boss certainly thinks so.

It is not surprising that Zhu Jun has an assist. 70.00% of Sevilla's offense is initiated from the left, and this season their striker partners Kanoute and Fabiano are in very good condition and can always pass Zhu Jun's cross turned into a goal.

"I just want to bet on one thing. Today's game will definitely be a goal shooter." Hu Yong said lightly from the side.

"Cut!" Countless middle fingers responded to him.

What do you need to say?After the two teams, both of which are good at offense, do not collide with each other?

Players from both sides began to shake hands with each other. When Zhuang Feng and Zhu Jun held hands together, their eyes seemed to collide with sparks.

"We didn't seem to have a chance to fight that time... Hehe, I didn't expect our first fight to be in such a scene." Zhu Jun showed a smile on his face.

Zhuang Feng naturally knew what he meant by "that time", and a smile appeared on his cold and handsome face: "It's really far away... I hope today's match will satisfy me!"

"I am satisfied for sure, I don't know if you are satisfied!"

After finishing these words in a tit-for-tat manner, Zhu Jun let go of Zhuang Feng's hand and walked towards the next Ajax player.

"Wow, those two guys seem to be getting excited!"

Sensitively observing that the handshake between Zhu Jun and Zhuang Feng seemed a bit too long, Wu Qi began to yell.

"Sure enough...it looks like it will be a very interesting match!"

**********************************************
The game was indeed as Hu Yong said. From the very beginning, the game entered into a wonderful and fierce confrontation.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Zhu Jun got rid of Ajax's right back beautifully on the left, and then sent a cross with precise placement. Under the cover of Kanut, he got rid of the defender's defense After receiving the ball from the back point, Bianno took a strong shot. The goalkeeper immediately raised his hand and surrendered. Sevilla opened the scoring!

However, the Sevilla people were not happy for long. Ajax used a quick counterattack to equalize the score immediately. Huntelaar ferried the long pass from the backcourt to Zhuang Feng, who was facing away from the goal. Forcibly turned around under the situation, suddenly volleyed vigorously in front of the penalty area!
The ball was played urgently and trickily, Sevilla's goalkeeper couldn't react in time, and Ajax equalized the score!
"What a strong desire to shoot! Under such circumstances, he can still shoot the goal immediately, and it is so accurate!"

There was a lot of admiration in the audience, and I don't know how many club scouts are burying their heads in taking notes. Of course, this is what the Ajax chairman is happy to see.

The first half ended in a fierce confrontation, 1:1, the two sides were evenly divided.

The second half of the game was not as exciting as the first half, but it was even more thrilling!
The first attack was Ajax. Zhuang Feng's breakthrough in front of the penalty area created a free kick in an excellent position. After a series of cooperation, Sneijder's curved ball made Ajax overtake the score!
But Sevilla will not give up the game like this. After 10 minutes, Zhu Jun assisted again and Kanoute scored with a header!
After only 10 minutes of the game, the two sides scored four goals, which also made the audience hooked.

"What do you think?" He Jin suddenly asked.

"The game has reached this point, and the strength can no longer measure the final result of the game." Pei Wei thought for a while and said: "Now it depends on how much experience the two teams have in this kind of game. From this point of view, Ah Jax seems to have the upper hand."

"I don't agree with this statement." Hu Yong began to sing a different tune: "Although Ajax was brilliant before, how many years have they not played in the finals of the two major European cups? Sevilla was the UEFA Cup final last year." As for the winner, from this aspect, Sevilla should have the advantage!"

"Then why don't you just make a bet. If anyone loses, how about inviting everyone to dinner after the game?" Wu Qi made a good plan. No matter who wins, he will at least have a good time.

"Okay, just bet!" Pei Wei and Hu Yong said confidently at the same time.

**********************************************
"Haha! Looks like I won!" Hu Yong laughed as he watched Zhu Jun galloping in the arena.

Now is the No.801 minute of the game, Sevilla finally took the lead in the game for the second time through a crazy attack!

After a fierce attack in the middle, Maresca cleverly distributed the ball to Zhu Jun on the left.

The Ajax players have been prepared for a long time. You must know that Sevilla's two goals were assisted by this thin man. It would be unreasonable not to strengthen the defense against him.

Trabelsi looked at Zhu Jun cautiously. Although his Tunisian team had played against the Chinese team in the World Cup, he was playing as a central defender at that time and had never faced Zhu Jun directly. In the game, he really felt the power of Zhu Jun's sharp breakthrough and precise passing!
Sneijder also withdrew to help defend, and Zhu Jun carefully controlled the ball. When the two opponents were about to pinch, he suddenly threw the ball horizontally!
Fabiano gets the ball in front of the box!
"Oops!" Trabelsi was taken aback, Fabiano secretly withdrew from the penalty area, and now the two central defenders of Ajax have not had time to pull out!

The Tunisian ran over immediately. He just ran halfway, when Fabiano poked his toe, and the ball flew back again!
Zhu Jun who inserted into the penalty area received the ball!

"Good chance! Zhu got the ball! Why didn't he shoot? Oh, the opponent's defender has withdrawn!" the commentator shouted regretfully.

Zhu Jun looked down at the ball, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Garasek who was rushing towards him aggressively. When the tall Czech rushed over, Zhu Jun flicked the ball deftly, and the ball passed through Garasek. His crotch, and then Zhu Jun quickly passed over his body!
"Oh my god, he can pass in such a small space!"

After getting rid of the last defender and facing the goalkeeper who was pounced on him, Zhu Jun changed his draw to pick. The ball drew a small arc, crossed the goalkeeper's body, and slowly fell into the empty goal!
3:2, Sevilla leads again!
********************************************
"There are still 10 minutes left in the game. I don't think you may have won." Pei Wei said lightly.

After taking the lead, Sevilla retreated across the board, intending to defend the last 10 minutes.

"Oh, how can you defend? You should continue to attack at this time. Even if you can't score, at least time can be used up!" Hu Yong looked very depressed.

"It's not necessarily wrong to do this. After all, the game is only 10 minutes long, and the players are already very tired. If you attack forcefully, being counterattacked by the opponent is definitely not worth the loss. Moreover, Sevilla failed to keep a close eye on Zhuang Feng in the sports game. guard." He Jin analyzed.

Pei Wei nodded. The current situation is not good for Ajax. Although Zhuang Feng has excellent personal ability, it is difficult to find opportunities in front of the opponent's dense formation.

Zhuang Feng began to find it troublesome. The defenders who were easy to break through in the first half are still so easy to break through now, but they have so many people... Once they get rid of one, another one will come up immediately, endless.

He looked at his partner, Huntelaar didn't seem to be in a good state in this game, and he wasted several opportunities, which also made his teammates start to give him more balls.

Zhuang Feng blinked at Huntelaar suddenly, and Huntelaar nodded.

"This way!" Seeing Sneijder taking the ball in the midfield, Zhuang Feng suddenly started and ran to the right side of the penalty area, shouting and reaching out for the ball.

"What a childish scheme..." Hu Yong shook his head in the stands, "Everyone knows that he will definitely give the ball to Huntelaar..."

"Haha, Ajax is going to score!" Pei Wei laughed: "Not everyone can calmly think about it in a fierce game, especially in such a tense moment..."

Sneijder lobbed the ball over, and sure enough, as Pei Wei said, Sevilla's defender Hulala surrounded three people and rushed towards Zhuang Feng together, but instead threw Huntelaar in the middle of the penalty area. on the side.

Zhuang Feng jumped up high. Although he is not very tall, only 1.8 meters four, his excellent jumping ability makes his header very powerful.

Before Sevilla's defender could react, Zhuang Feng had already pushed the ball to the middle of the penalty area with his waist and abdomen!

The unguarded Huntelaar carefully stopped the ball with his chest, and then volleyed directly!
"GOAL! Ajax equalized at the end of the game!"

"Look, I'm sure to win!" Pei Wei laughed and said to Hu Yong.

Hu Yong shook his head. He began to admit that what Pei Wei said was correct. Being equalized at the last moment was obviously a huge blow to Sevilla's morale. After overtime, Ajax, whose morale was boosted, would only attack more and more. more violent.

They were right. In overtime, Ajax had always had the advantage on the field, while Zhu Jun was replaced by the head coach due to lack of physical strength. Leah was overwhelmed, and finally in the second half of overtime, Zhuang Feng scored the winning header. Ajax won the UEFA Cup in the 06-07 season.

And Hu Yong, who lost the bet, could only bear the pain and bleed heavily, asking everyone to enjoy it in one of the most luxurious local hotels...
