king of world football

Wang Feng, who has just finished the whole season, can't be idle. Although there are still more than two months before the Olympic Games in August, he first needs to represent the national team to participate in the group stage of the World Preliminary Tournament.

The team defeated Iraq and Australia in the first two rounds respectively, temporarily ranking first in the group. On June 6, they will challenge Qatar in an away game. The Chinese superstar did not qualify for the starting list shortly after returning to the team.

The process of the game was quite dramatic. As a small country in West Asia, Qatar is not as famous as Iran and Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the Chinese players gradually became slack after taking advantage of the field.

At this time, the problem of weak striker appeared again. In the absence of players with strong offensive firepower such as Dongfang Zhuo and Wang Feng, the others' ability to play tough battles was obviously lacking, resulting in being unable to attack for a long time.

Qatar stabilized its defense while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and finally succeeded in a quick counterattack in the 40th minute, and took advantage of the chaotic period of the Chinese team to score another goal, falling behind by two goals at halftime!

In the 60th minute of the second half, Wang Feng finally went into battle. Only 3 minutes later, he scored a goal with a direct free kick from the 30-meter area.

In the 76th minute, the Chinese superstar once again broke through two defensive players from the side and cut inside, and then shot from a small angle on the outside of the instep and succeeded in the near corner of the goal, 2:2!The two sides were able to shake hands and make peace.

After the game, the Khalifa International Stadium burst into applause. Although the home team did not win a victory, the fans saw the wonderful performances of both sides, especially the appearance of the world superstar Wang Feng. Most people felt that it was worth the ticket price.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, one of the top executives of the Qatar Sports Investment Fund, also stood up and applauded at the VIP seat. He said to his assistant, Moore Mood, "Football is really an interesting sport, isn't it?"

"The Abu Dhabi consortium's acquisition plan for the Premier League team Manchester City has reached the final stage, and it is expected to be completed this summer. At that time, they can take this opportunity to influence Europe. From all aspects, it is a very cost-effective deal."

Moore nodded, "There are also voices in the royal family who suggest to follow the example of the UAE and choose a team in the Premier League or other top European leagues to acquire, but many people are still worried about the risks and want to wait and see the development of Manchester City."

Nasser showed a meaningful smile: "I know what they are worried about, but there is no need for it. We currently have no conflict of interest with Europe."

"And high-level officials intend to bid for the 2022 World Cup. Competitors include Japan, South Korea, the United States and Australia, so we must show some strength to prove ourselves."

After finishing speaking, Nasser stared at Wang Feng, who was surrounded by Qatari players asking for his autograph and group photo. He was a little dazed for a while, and then he woke up and asked, "You said if the team we invest in wants to buy a Chinese superstar, would you agree?" possible?"

Moore responded with a wry smile: "At present, it is almost impossible to open. According to my information, the Abu Dhabi consortium has actually contacted Real Madrid, but they were directly rejected, even the offer was refused."

"Wang Feng is only 25 years old this year, and he still has at least 5 to 10 years of peak time. Galaxy Battleship will never allow such a cornerstone of the team to slip away."

"Maybe so, but everything has its value. We can't win Wang Feng just because the price given is not enough. Let the Habu Dhabi consortium test the water for us."

.........

Although Wang Feng did not know everything in the stands, the Abu Dhabi consortium did contact his agent, and even Mansour personally called the Chinese superstar, hoping that he could join the rebuilt Blue Moon and act as the soul of the team.

The two have a good personal relationship, so Wang Feng said bluntly: "I have no plans to leave Real Madrid now. To be honest, this is not a warm and affectionate club, but it has helped me the most now."

Mansour still didn't give up. He offered a sky-high annual salary and said that he would continue to negotiate with the top management of the Galacticos: "If Florentino personally agrees to this transfer, I believe you will not refuse it by then."

Wang Feng could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. Mansour may be a little blindly confident. In terms of value, he thinks that the UAE can't come up with an offer that matches his own.

The Chinese team continued their journey to the world preliminaries. On June 6, they played against Qatar at home in the fourth round. This time, Wang Feng did not give the West Asian team a chance. He took the lead to break the deadlock, and then assisted Gao Lin and Chen Tao to score a goal each. Qatar only pulled back a goal in the 7st minute, 4:81!Win cleanly!

On June 6th, in the fifth round at home against Iraq, the Chinese team could qualify for the top ten after a tie. Wang Feng easily broke the spell and scored twice to help the team beat the opponent 14:5.

On June 6, in the last round of the away game against Australia, the head coach Alihan arranged a lineup mainly for training, and Wang Feng sat firmly on the bench. They showed tenacious fighting spirit without pressure. After conceding a goal first, Chen Tao equalized the score , 22:1, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

最终中国队以4胜2平积14分的成绩小组第一出线，另一支出线球队则是3胜2平1负积11分的澳大利亚。

In Europe, the European Cup jointly organized by Austria and Switzerland is also in full swing. In the group stage, Croatia overwhelmed Germany and won the first place, which became a big topic. Greece did not continue the miracle of four years ago and came to the bottom The result ends the race.

But the most surprising thing is that the world champion France had three games, one draw and two losses, and was eliminated from the bottom of the ranking. During this period, there were rumors of infighting scandals among teammates. It seems that after Zidane retired, there were no big-name superstars in the French team who could hold the scene. .

The team that had the last laugh was Spain. They defeated Italy, Russia and Germany one after another, standing on top of Europe!

After the game, the transfers of various clubs were in full swing. Barcelona took the lead and won Alves of Seville for 3200 million euros, and brought back Villarreal's Cassie for 1650 million euros. Reis, bought Arsenal's Hleb for 1500 million euros.

Not to mention the introduction of Sedu Keita for 1400 million euros and the introduction of Pique for 500 million euros. The Catalan club became a giant in the transfer market and bought and bought frantically.

Real Madrid is much more rational. The team’s run-in and performance were good last season. Therefore, the top management just wanted to strengthen appropriately and introduced Argentine defender Garay with a worth of 1000 million euros. He once won the World Youth League with Argentina’s golden generation in 2005. Tournament champion, also impressed when he played for Racing Santander.

At the same time, the Galaxy Battleship also brought back the Dutch winger van der Vaart from the Bundesliga Hamburg at a price of 1300 million euros. He is the earliest winner of the European Golden Boy Award and can play an offensive supplementary role when Raul gradually fades out of the main force.

Other clubs in La Liga did not make as much moves as the duo. However, after the ups and downs in recent seasons, Atletico Madrid also decided to increase investment, spending 2200 million euros to buy two outstanding players, Heitinga and Pangele.
