Chinese champion

Chapter 330 The Blue-Black Empire This Summer

On June 6, the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, where the Champions League final, the last major event of the European League in the 15-06 season, was staged here. Like last year's Champions Cup final, the opponents were still a La Liga team and a Premier League team. The team, but the team from the Premier League has changed from last year's Arsenal to this year's Chelsea.

For this game, Chelsea is full of energy. Mourinho has brought two Premier League titles to the "Luble Legion" during the two years he has been in charge of Chelsea, but he has failed for two consecutive years in the European arena. After all, last year, it fell on Barcelona. This year's game is also a battle of revenge for Mourinho and his team.

Losing the league championship after falling behind Manchester United by one point half a month ago also forced Mourinho to the road of having to win. For the ambitious Abramovich, losing the three consecutive Premier League titles is something he cannot tolerate Yes, if you can't win the league championship, a mere FA Cup championship can't satisfy the appetite of the Russian tycoon.

Compared with Chelsea, who played underdogs, Barcelona can be considered as imposing. They just defended the La Liga title half a month ago, and also won the three consecutive La Liga titles. They are heading towards the double for two consecutive years. The crown king marches on.

The final at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece can be described as a game piled up with gold dollars. The combined worth of the 22 players from both sides exceeds 5000 million euros. Don’t think this is a big number. You know, just The liquidated damages set by Barcelona for Ronaldinho and Messi are close to 3000 million euros ([-] million for Ronaldinho and [-] million for Messi), if you add the players on the bench of both sides , then this number must definitely exceed one billion.

Such a huge number also makes everyone speechless. The development of football to this day has completely become a competition of financial resources.

The three lines of both sides are star-studded, Eto’oga, Messi VS Shevchenko and Drogba at the forward line, Ronaldinho, Deco, Harvey and Marcos at the midfielder vs Lampa at Chelsea Germany, Ballack, Robben and Essien, even the most inconspicuous defenders have star defenders like Terry, Ashley Cole, Puyol and Zambrotta. What is a bit bleak is probably the goalkeepers of both sides, but they are also very capable players. Cudicini and Valdes are both capable players. For goalkeepers, strength is more important than fame.

This is the seventh time that Barcelona and Chelsea have played against each other in the Champions League in the past three years. Rijkaard and Mourinho, who is the best coach among the younger generation in Europe, this battle will continue.

The game itself did not disappoint all the fans. Those glorious names did not live up to their worth. The performance on the field fully demonstrated that their strength is definitely worthy of the price given to them by the boss!

The game started in a relatively flat start. Chelsea still used their usual defensive counterattacks, while Barcelona's offense was a bit cautious. After all, Chelsea's offensive power is not vegetarian. Just look at Shevchenko, Drogba, Lampa Germany, Ballack, and Robben will know how powerful Barcelona's offensive power is!
But at 10 minutes, an accident changed the game!

Chelsea made a meaningless clearance in the backcourt, but because of Thuram's overhead error, it formed a lore!

Although Valdes struggled to save Shevchenko's one-handed goal, the sudden appearance of "Warcraft" Drogba in front of the ball made his efforts useless!

1: 0!

After conceding the goal, Barcelona launched a crazy attack, but they always returned in vain in front of Chelsea's solid defense. Ronaldinho was stared to death by Essien and Ballack, but Chelsea's sharp counterattack made Barcelona's defense every time. The weak line of defense was frightened for a while!
Before the end of the first half, Chelsea's lightning strike had an effect again!

Ballack and Lampard hit the wall continuously in the midfield to throw off the opponent's defender, and then Ballack made an exquisite pass, and Shevchenko went straight again!

This time the Ukrainian nuclear warhead did not waste the assists from his teammates, and his calm push to the far corner made Valdes useless!

After the start of the second half, Barcelona still didn't seem to find a way to break the opponent's goal. With the passage of time, Chelsea's first Champions League trophy in history seemed to be coming!

It seems that only in times of crisis, Barcelona will truly show their terrifying strength. This is the case against Werder Bremen in the last round of the group stage, and it is also the case against Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. In this final, it is still the case!
The same shaking in place, the same sudden volley!
Just like Ronaldinho's wonderful goal two years ago, this ghostly long shot also made Cudicini completely unable to react!
Barcelona regained a point!
This is the No.706 minute of the game!
Chelsea began to retreat with all members, and Barcelona began to attack frantically!
Like a wave after wave, Barcelona's attack seems to never stop!

Finally, in the No.803 minute of the game, Barcelona equalized the score!
A goal that is not exciting, but it is the most important goal of Barcelona all year!
Deco took a corner kick, and Thuram, who had an assist, flew the header, and Puyol, who also had an assist, scored with a header relay!

This is the Barcelona captain's first and only goal of the season!
The Chelsea fans who were still celebrating the victory just now were stunned. They could not accept such a result!

But a bigger blow came one after another. Just 3 minutes later, Eto'o beat Carvalho hard with speed, and the angry Portuguese kicked the Cameroonian down behind him!
red card!penalty!
The people of Barcelona are crazy, what could be better than that?

Ronaldinho took the penalty and pushed the upper right corner!
Cudicini judged correctly and hit the ball with a single punch!
"We still have hope!" Chelsea people had such thoughts in their hearts, but...

A lightning-like black shadow appeared in front of the ball, volleying and shooting!
"GOAL..." Eto'o tore off his jersey and ran around the court frantically!

Rijkaard also lost his usual calm, roaring and hugging everyone!

Mourinho slumped down on the coach's bench, and the "magic bird" who never admit defeat finally lowered his noble head!

Looking at the Barcelona players whose faces were deformed due to ecstasy, Mourinho knew that he did not lose in other places, but in the background of the team!
Compared with Barcelona's glorious history, Chelsea can only be regarded as an upstart!

The 06-07 European League season has finally come to an end. This is a wonderful season, and the finals of the two major cups are unprecedentedly exciting!
*******************************************
This summer is an easy summer for most of the players, because basically they don't have any game tasks in this summer, only a few European Championship qualifiers, but for Chinese players, this summer They still have a task to complete, and that is the Asian Cup in 07.

In order to avoid collisions with the Olympic Games and the European Cup and reduce the level of attention, the AFC decided to advance the Asian Cup, which should have been held in 08, to 07, and the venue was an unprecedented combination of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. It is jointly organized with four Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam.

Since these four countries are all countries with low football levels, the result is that in the final stage of the game, the level of the game has dropped significantly, which also makes countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. Not very willing to send the main lineup to participate in this competition.

The Chinese side originally considered that the players who played in Europe were tired after a season of hard work, because they did not intend to let these stars participate, but sent members of the Olympic team to participate in the competition and train by the way.But in this way, the AFC is a little unhappy. If the stars don't come, what will be left of the attraction of this cup?However, the AFC did not dare to say anything more to the increasingly tough Chinese Football Association, but euphemistically expressed the hope that the Chinese team could send more main players.

After consideration, Fang Yatao agreed to the request. Although he has an iron fist, Fang Yatao doesn't just know how to be tough. He still understands the principle of people carrying people in sedan chairs. After all, he still lives under the AFC and can't do anything. It's too bad.

He Jin then called Zhuang Feng into the team. He Jin also had his consideration in doing so. Among the three overage players prepared, Pei Wei and Zhu Jun were both old international players. There is no need to worry about their status in the team. Although Zhuang Feng is very popular in Europe, his resume in China is not enough. Calling him into the team this time is a good way to establish Zhuang Feng's status. timing.

And Zhuang Feng himself is very willing to participate in this Asian Cup. What he is thinking about now is how to make his reputation bigger. Participating in the national team's Asian Cup is obviously a good opportunity.

The only thing that made him a little worried was that An Lei would not be taken care of if he returned to China to compete, but Pei Wei helped him relieve his worries.

**************************************************
"Don't worry, An Lei is probably better with us than in the Netherlands!"

Before sending Zhuang Feng to the plane, Pei Wei said with a smile: "I usually have Ke'er to chat with her and go shopping to relieve boredom. As for recuperation, Chinese medicine seems to be more sure of treating An Lei's disease than Western medicine. Ke'er His father is a first-class Chinese medicine doctor!"

"Thank you so much!" Zhuang Feng said gratefully: "If it weren't for your help, I really don't know how much I would be worried about the game! You know, when I was in the Netherlands, I always I want to take Leilei with me!"

"Isn't it possible to hire a nanny or medical staff? Take her to the away game? Even if the Netherlands is not big, you can't do that!" Pei Wei asked in surprise.

"The nannies and medical staff are not as caring as my own family!" Zhuang Feng said with a wry smile, "It was better when my parents and my parents-in-law were there, but they also have jobs in China, so I had to take care of them." fuck her!"

"That's really troublesome..." Pei Wei rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "Why don't you just transfer to our Inter Milan! In that case, someone will take care of you at ordinary times, so you can let An Lei Go to Uncle Ma's clinic to recuperate!"

"Don't be kidding! Is your Inter Milan still short of strikers? Ibrahimovic, Adelaide, Crespo, Martins...will they like me?" Zhuang Feng laughed.

Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders: "Haha, then don't talk about this, this time the Asian Cup, your task is very heavy, haha, but you have to bring this championship back, don't let us down!"

"I will." Zhuang Feng said nonchalantly, "I don't mind adding an Asian champion title to my resume."

"Come on!" After the two clapped their hands high, Zhuang Feng boarded the plane to BJ, where he was going to join the Olympic team.

"Hey, Pei Wei, where are you going to take a rest this summer?" Just as Zhuang Feng was being sent away, Zhu Jun called.

"I planned to go on vacation with Kerr at the place I was looking for, but An Lei is in Milan now, so I had no choice but to not go. I just plan to bring my parents to Milan to have fun with them, and then... I want to train well ’” Pei Wei replied.

"What else is there to practice? Isn't that enough practice?" Zhu Jun snorted.

Pei Wei was silent for a while: "Not enough, if I can be better, we should be able to go further in this year's Champions Cup..."

"You, you're just stupid..." Zhu Jun sighed, "I'm going to go skiing in Switzerland!"

"Be careful wrestling!" Pei Wei replied to him, and couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhu Jun's cheerful voice on the phone: "Is it with girls? Don't get carried away too much!"

"Hey!" Zhu Jun laughed ambiguously, and Pei Wei asked curiously, "Who are you with this time?"

At first I thought Zhu Jun would boast about it, but unexpectedly Zhu Jun changed his temper and hurriedly said: "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it... let's go here, I'm dead!"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Pei Wei shook his head.

************************************************** **
"Pei Wei! Come and see, we bought a lot of things today!" Ma Ke'er's voice came from the gate. Since An Lei came, Ma Ke'er has found a shopping partner. Usually Pei Wei She doesn't like shopping, and she doesn't have much time and energy to go shopping after training, so Marco can only keep this hobby in her heart. Now that An Lei came, Marco found an organization.

"Pei Wei? Pei Wei..." Ma Keer stopped after calling twice. There was no one in the room, but the sound of "Boom! Boom" from the backyard let Marco know that Pei Wei is now doing what.

"Is he practicing again?" Putting down the big and small bags in her hand, An Lei smiled and asked Marco in a low voice. Marco nodded and said angrily: "Sister An, now you know why I said this guy Isn’t it interesting? His spare time is basically football!”

An Lei smiled: "Zhuang Feng is also like this...To be honest, I just fell in love with his persistence at that time, even in college, he practiced for more than three hours a day .”

Marco was lost for a while: "Maybe this is the loneliness that football stars have to endure..."

"Look at you, you look like a little bitch!" An Lei yelled at Marco, who immediately shrank into a ball, what she was most afraid of was tickling, and the laughter of the girls filled the whole living room.

"Okay, stop making trouble, let's call that guy Pei Wei over and ask him to help us tidy up!" Ma Keer avoided An Lei's "claw" and ran to the backyard as if fleeing.

Sure enough, Pei Wei was indeed practicing in the backyard. He was facing a wall, kicking the ball to the wall alternately with two feet, and when the ball bounced back, he caught it in the air with his feet, and so on.Although it sounds simple, not everyone can do it. A little lack of strength and technique will keep picking up balls all over the floor, let alone "repeated" practice, but for Pei Wei, this is already very important. Things that are familiar with the road will not make him feel so strenuous at all, it's just killing a little time.

"He... usually practices like this?" An Lei opened her mouth wide and asked Marco in surprise.

"Yeah." Marco nodded, "Sometimes I also practice shooting. Do you see the dots painted on the wall? He shoots the ball to those dots while running. Really, every time It's noisy, but fortunately there are no neighbors around, otherwise there must be complaints every day!"

After saying this, Marco raised his voice and shouted: "Big star, why don't you stop for a while and help us two 'weak' girls tidy up?"

Pei Wei put a pad on his feet, stretched out his hand to copy it, took the flying ball in his hand, and looked back: "You are still weak? I really can't see... What did you buy today?" Seeing Ma Ke Pei Wei hurriedly changed the subject as if he was about to lose his temper.

"There are so many things, today we have to fill up the refrigerator!" Marco said with high spirits.

Seeing a lot of things in the living room, Pei Wei frowned: "Why did you buy so much...Ker, An Lei is not in good health, how can you buy so many things for her to move? Why are you tired? manage?"

Ma Ke'er flattened her lips, and An Lei smiled and said, "It's okay, Uncle Ma said, now my recuperation effect is very good, I need to exercise more appropriately, the amount of exercise is just right."

Ma Keer gave Pei Wei a demonstrative glance, Pei Wei smiled wryly, and Ma Keer said unforgivingly, "Hmph, you dare to blame me and punish you for cooking for us today!"

"Okay, okay!" Pei Wei rolled up his sleeves, "Let me serve the two eldest ladies today!"

************************************************
Pei Wei's parents left after staying in Milan for a week, because the two of them were not used to living in this place, and the old lady missed her poker friends in China, Pei Wei couldn't stop her, but Pei Wei also understood the old man Feeling nostalgic for his homeland, he reluctantly sent his parents back home.

But before returning to China, the old man specially pulled Pei Wei into the room for more than an hour of training. The topic was nothing more than you are getting old and should be married, especially when the old man knows that Pei Wei is now living with Ma Keer. When they were together, they even forced Pei Wei to let him "responsible", which also made Pei Wei want to cry without tears: I haven't done anything yet, why should I be responsible?
The old lady was even more anxious to hug her grandson, and she kept asking Marco if there was anything wrong recently, and if she wanted to eat sour, which made Marco's face flushed, and she almost got into the ground.

So although Pei Wei and Ma Ke'er were a little disappointed by the departure of the two elderly people, they were still greatly relieved.

The three of them were eating around the table, and An Lei suddenly asked, "Hmm...how is the Chinese team doing in the Asian Cup? It seems like the second round of the group stage is about to finish today, right?"

Ma Keer also looked at Pei Wei with a questioning look. Pei Wei took a sip of soup and said with a smile: "The game is over, we won against Oman 4-0, and we have already qualified ahead of schedule. Zhuang Feng is really good. He scored a hat-trick. Scoring four goals in one game, he is indeed a scoring maniac, and now he is the only one at the top of the scorer list."

An Lei lowered her head and continued to eat, but both Ma Ke'er and Pei Wei could tell that she was very happy now.

Pei Wei winked at Ma Ke'er, and Ma Ke'er immediately understood, put down his chopsticks, and hugged An Lei's shoulder affectionately: "Sister An, it seems that your days in the Netherlands will not be too far away...Zhuang Feng With such a good performance, there will definitely be wealthy families who will invite him to join him."

An Lei raised her head with a smile on her face: "I don't really care if he is rich or not, I just hope he can play football happily like this. In the Netherlands, I know that he is not very happy playing football... He is working hard, for me..."

Ma Keer hurriedly persuaded her: "I heard from my father that your illness is much better... now it is very stable, and he has also found a prescription that can make your blood condition better... and we are still helping you You look for bone marrow, as long as you have the right bone marrow, you can operate, then you can be as good as before!"

"I hope so..." An Lei showed a smile: "To be honest, if Xiao Zhuang really wants to leave the Netherlands next season, I really hope that he can come to Inter Milan, then at least I have a partner." , I can be with you all the time."

"Then let him come!" Marco seemed to be able to direct Moratti to buy Zhuang Feng.

"Hehe..." An Lei couldn't help laughing: "Come as soon as you say, although I don't know much about football, I also know that a big club like Inter Milan will not easily buy people, not to mention that Inter Milan seems to be a striker. There are many, like Ibrahimovic who was also the main striker of Ajax before, Xiao Zhuang may not have a position when he comes."

"Actually..." Pei Wei hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke: "Yesterday, Mr. Blanca, the manager of our club, called me and said that he very much hoped to introduce Zhuang Feng before the start of this season. Jax contacted him, and at the same time hoped that I could persuade Zhuang Feng... Haha, it made me a little embarrassed."

"Oh, so it is like this." An Lei laughed: "I said, why do you two always wink at me and you wink at me? So this is it." An Lei wiped her mouth, refreshingly Said: "No problem! I will tell Xiaozhuang, I think he also hopes to fight side by side with you!"

"Great!" Marco jumped up and took An Lei's hand: "In that case we can go shopping every day! Hee hee!"

Pei Wei smiled and looked at the two girls who were huddled together, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

What do the club executives think?Now there are five forwards in the team. Ibrahimovic is the absolute main force. Although he does not score many goals, his involvement in the frontcourt and holding the ball are invaluable offensive weapons. Crespo scored last season. The striker with the most balls, Recoba is an old courtier, has the strength and is willing to play as a substitute, Adelaide and Martins are very young, and their loyalty to the team is beyond doubt. If Zhuang Feng comes, then the forward line There are already six forwards in the game, even if it is a third-line battle next season, there will be too many people, right?
Is someone leaving?Who is the one?
Crespo?It's a bit like, after all, he came on loan from Chelsea, and he is already 32 years old. It is impossible for the club to pay too much for such a veteran, but judging from his performance last season, his scoring ability is very much needed by the team , whether Zhuang Feng can adapt to Serie A is still unknown, it is impossible to let such a prolific shooter go easily, right?

Ibrahimovic is impossible, so is Recoba. Although Recoba can't play the main force, his wish is to retire at Inter Milan, and his salary is not high, and the relationship with Moratti is doomed He will not be washed.

Could it be one of Ad and Martins?Among the current Inter Milan forwards, apart from Ibrahimovic, the two of them who can sell at a high price are probably the two of them, but no matter who these two leave, it is not what Pei Wei wants to see.

In any case, it is also the former "combination of the next ten years"...
