Chapter 199 The World Cup in Germany

At this time, the heat of the World Cup has also risen.

Although the Champions League has developed well in recent years, at the national team level, the World Cup still represents the highest stage of football.

And Germany has also become the fermenting place of football this summer. Fans and media from all over the world have also flocked to Germany.

Jia Yi also took his family to Germany to watch football and travel. He did not place any more bets this time. After all, he has a lot of money now, so there is no need to go to this kind of market to make money.

In the opening match, the host German team narrowly beat the Costa Rica team 3:2 and almost capsized in the gutter.

Although Navas conceded three goals, he still had to save many shots from the German team at close range. After a season of training in the Valencia team, he has completely grown into a world-class goalkeeper.

Of course, in terms of overall strength, the Costa Rica team is still some distance away from the German team.

Losing a ball can be regarded as a face.

Afterwards, the World Cup began in full swing, and most of the games remained unchanged.

The Chinese team is in a very difficult group. In the first game, the Chinese team drew 0:0 with Uruguay. Manchester United goalkeeper Yang Zhi became the biggest contributor.

Although the Chinese team has made great progress, facing the South American powerhouse Uruguay, the team still played very difficult and the scene was completely passive.

That is to say, Cheng Tao and Wang Song can still hold the ball in the midfield, and sometimes they can take a breather.

But the gap in hard power cannot be bridged.

Fortunately, the result was good, at least one point was scored.

After a game, the domestic media and fans are no longer idealistic. If you want to qualify from this group, you must score at least 4 points against France and Switzerland.

This level of difficulty really put Alihan to the test.

In the second game, the Chinese team really drew with the French team 1:1.

Dong Fangzhuo showed his talent in the 33rd minute when he scored a difficult header from outside the penalty area.

However, veteran Zinedine Zidane's 59-minute goal shattered the Chinese team's dream of scoring all three points.

This old man is still very good. He is still at his peak at such an age. It is hard to imagine that he will retire after the World Cup.

This also made Jia Yi want to poach Zidane over, play a League One, and he can do whatever he wants.

In another game, the Swiss team defeated Uruguay 2:0, scored 4 points in two games, and ranked first.

In the last round, if the French team wants to advance, it must beat the Uruguay team to be guaranteed, otherwise it will reproduce the scene of the 2002 group.

If the Chinese team wants to advance, it must also defeat the Swiss team in the last game, surpassing their opponents and reaching the top 16.

The match was scheduled to take place at the World Cup Stadium in Stuttgart.

After the start of the game, the Swiss team played a little conservatively. After all, they can advance with 1 point, so there is no need to take risks.

This instead gave the Chinese team an opportunity to attack.

In the 29th minute, Cheng Tao went straight in the frontcourt, and Dong Fangzhuo's shot from the penalty area was saved. At this time, veteran Sun Jihai suddenly appeared in the penalty area. His supplementary shot helped the Chinese team score and take the lead.

And this goal was also the only goal in the game. The Swiss team attacked with all their strength, but they couldn't break through Yang Zhi's goal. In the end, the group match was 0:1.

The Chinese team made it to the top 16 of the World Cup in a historic way. The players and coach hugged each other excitedly, celebrating their entry into the knockout round.

This is also the only Asian team in the World Cup this season to enter the top 16. This level of honor still makes the players very excited. In front of other Asian teams, they now have a lot of face.

Now, the domestic fans and media are all over the sky.

Compared with the last World Cup, the Chinese team has improved again, which makes people see hope.

Although the game is still at a disadvantage, it is indeed worth celebrating to break through from such three strong teams and reach the top 16.

Because of the arrival of Jia Yi at this time, Chinese football has changed. It is really not easy to reach the top 16 in such a group.

After all, the other three teams are stronger than the Chinese team.

After entering the top 16, the Chinese team lost 1:2 to the Spaniards and stopped in the top 16. Although it is a bit regrettable, it is acceptable.

The following games followed the trajectory, and finally Germany, France, Italy and Portugal reached the top four.

Portugal lost 0:1 to Zidane in the semifinals, and the young Ronaldo also tasted the bitter fruit of World Cup defeat for the first time.

However, the Italian team, which was deeply affected by Calciopoli, overturned the host German team 2-0 with Grosso's outstanding performance, and successfully joined forces with the French team.

Jia Yi then watched the final again, and the final was still unchanged. Zidane's shocking collision finally made Italy the champion.

And retiring in such a way, Zidane is really different.

Of course, after the Calciopoli incident, Italian football can still become the final winner of the World Cup, which is indeed worthy of respect.

The smoke of the World Cup has cleared, and the work of the clubs is also in full swing.

The Manchester team's signing work also started quickly.

The club's original players were basically sold off and sold to other League One or League Two teams.

These players are average in strength, and they will naturally be qualified to play in League One, but for the Mann team, they are a bit defective.

A few goalkeepers are retained. After all, they are good enough to play in League One.

There are also two tall Australian players who are also retained. Their physical fitness is indeed good. They are very suitable as cannon fodder in League One. Sometimes they can't start the game, and their bodies can come in handy.

In addition, there must be a purpose for Jia Yi to keep them. He can copy their physical attributes and use them for other players.

Jia Yi wants to build a new giants team, and he needs to shape the style from now on. Therefore, he needs a group of outstanding players to support him.

Therefore, he needs to introduce high-level players.

Juan Mata, Sakho, David Silva, Van Dijk, Salah, Kante, Oscar, Paulinho, Hulk, Elkeson and Ilham brought in from Manchester City Jiang and several other Chinese players will become the main backbone of the Manchester United team in the future.

However, Van Dijk, Salah, Kanter, and Oscar are still young and will not represent the first team for the time being.

Juan Mata and David Silva have been in the Manchester City reserve team for two seasons. Because Manchester City's first team is full of talents, the two have never been promoted to the first team. This time they were brought over by Jia, and they must be the main players. To cultivate, the two also have this strength.

These two must have succeeded in picking up the leaks. It is estimated that Guardiola is now fully focused on retaining the main players of the first team, and has not cared about these two little brothers at all.

The 16-year-old Sacco will become the core of the defense and also the focus of training.

But Hulk and a few other Brazilians, because they want to occupy the foreign aid quota and have to apply for the Premier League labor certificate, it may take some time to register.

In Manchester City, they basically played as the main force of the reserve team. Hulk was also loaned out for a period of time, but now he was taken back by Manchester City, but he still had no place. After Jia mentioned it, Guardiola also let him go. Jia Yi saves face.

In fact, Hulk is not weak, with good physical fitness and strong explosive power, but he is a little independent.

It is definitely more than enough to play a League One.

And Yilihamujiang is also a good finished product. He performed well in several appearances last season, and he will definitely play the main force when he comes over.

For the other Chinese players, we have to wait a little longer. Their strength is indeed a bit weaker, and their age is basically young, so they can be trained in the reserve team.

Originally, Jia Yi still wanted Smalling, but unfortunately he didn’t make it. Manchester City still attaches great importance to English players. Otherwise, the Manchester team can have the golden pair of Sakho and Smalling, and they don’t have to worry about defense in the next 15 years. .

These players have all signed contracts with the Manchester United, and their salaries are good. Even Salah and others in the reserve team have a weekly salary of 1 pounds, which is definitely a huge sum for young them. payment.

Their families have also come here, so it is enough to work for the Mann people with peace of mind.

Signing work is still going smoothly.
