Chinese champion

Chapter 176
When China is crazy about the wonderful performance of the seven Chinese players in the European League this week, as if they have taken medicine, when the Chinese Football Association naturally attributes the excellent performance of the seven players to the results of the seven-day training camp in Maojiawan, a family A not-so-big sports media article titled "Brilliant Performance, Explosion or Silent Protest" caused a long debate among fans.

"This weekend, the seven players in Europe have all shown excellent competitive status in their respective leagues. Although Pei Wei, Zhu Jun and Zhang Qi have scored goals in their respective leagues more than once, but like Defensive players such as Li Min, Du Wei and Hu Yong also scored goals at the same time. Is this just a coincidence? Of course, we can also think that the training level of the Olympic team has far surpassed that of European clubs. In just seven days of training, they have brought their level to another level... But let's look at their performance after scoring. They didn't celebrate happily after scoring, but seemed to find a way to vent There was a general roar, Du Wei kicked the billboard, Pei Wei kicked the corner cue, Zhang Qi waved his fist, and even Wu Qi, who has always been good-tempered, made moves to provoke the opponent's fans after saving the opponent's penalty. , This is really inconsistent with their usual personalities... From the very beginning of the game, they seemed to be looking for an opportunity to celebrate alone, and when this opportunity came, they chose to roar together. It can be seen that, They are using this opportunity to express some kind of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and then contacted their mentor, the former coach of the Olympic team, He Jin, who resigned not long ago. There seems to be some mysterious connection between the two..."

Seeing this, we have to admire the keen observation and rich associations of this little-known reporter. At the same time, we must also admire the courage of this reporter and his editor. The article confirmed by one of the parties just appeared on the front page of this newspaper...Sometimes the Chinese media is really not afraid of anything for the sake of sales.

This newspaper, which usually sells only tens of thousands of copies per day, became famous all at once, and the first batch of [-] printed copies sold out. Unexpectedly, the editorial department hurriedly asked the printing workers to increase the production. Demand exceeds supply.

No one knows whether the officials of the Chinese Football Association saw this article, but on the second day, those newspapers that were still exaggerating the wisdom of the Football Association the day before all stopped flattering the Football Association and began to praise the national team. The re-focused coverage of .

There are so many competitions this year, the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the Olympic qualifiers, the main match, the Asian Cup, the European Cup, the America's Cup... As long as you are a fan, it is impossible not to be indifferent in front of these games. Who cares about this? Is this report true?

However, after that, the Football Association immediately sent letters to major clubs on every international match day, requiring players in Europe to return to China to participate in training camps. Returning to China for training so frequently, and this year is not necessary to do so even if it is a competition year?Especially Mallorca, at the critical moment of the championship, Pei Wei is constantly flying around the Eurasian continent, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on the performance of the entire Mallorca team.

Every time Yan Wenqiang sees Pei Wei with a tired face and the others come to Maojiawan, he feels an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart, Xiao Mian, I can’t beat you to death, you are still a little tender to fight with me, and dare to fight in secret I challenge the board, now you know who is the leader?
But what made Yan Wenqiang a little depressed was that Pei Wei and the others didn't even express any dissatisfaction. Whenever they received the convening order from the Football Association on the international match day, they immediately flew back to Maojiawan, and flew back to Europe directly after a few days of training. Even sometimes when the leaders of the Football Association came to Maojiawan for inspection, they didn't express the slightest dissatisfaction, they just trained on the training ground expressionlessly.

Pei Wei and the others didn't say anything, but the clubs they were in couldn't sit still. The long-term flying around made the absolute main players of their seven clubs fluctuate during the competition, which had a great impact on their results. So these seven clubs jointly sent a letter to the Chinese Football Association, strongly requesting to reduce the number of players called up. Under their pressure, the Football Association had to agree to this request. After all, this has a great impact on the reputation of Chinese players in European football. In order to make it easier for Chinese players to be accepted by European clubs in the future, the Football Association stopped such frequent calls for players.

Time passed quickly until February, and the nerves of the Chinese fans began to get excited again. In order to prepare for the fourth group of the World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese national team gathered again. The name of Wu Qi, who is effective in Anderlecht, Belgium.

****************************************
"Hey! Big man, congratulations, you are actually the first player in our group to be selected for the national team. Will you be returning to China tomorrow?" Pei Wei said excitedly on the phone, he was sincere Happy for Wu Qi.

"Hehe..." Wu Qi was obviously very happy about this, he smirked: "Yeah, I didn't expect that, in fact, all of you should be in the national team, why only me was chosen, I'm confused Already!"

"Listen to He Tou, the head coach of the national team, Ali Han, admires you very much. In addition, the national team does not have any good candidates for the goalkeeper position, so I transferred you. Work hard in the national team and fight for it. Play the main force and give brother some confidence!"

"It's not that easy, is it? Tianjin's Liu Fei and Shenzhen's Li Lei are old international players. I don't think it's so easy for me to play the main force? I went there and I was just a substitute. I guess I will come back after sitting on the bench for a few days. "

"What's this called? It's not like what you said. With your strength, there is no goalkeeper in China who can match you! Work harder, if you let Kuwait score a goal, I will ask them to beat you when you come back. You have a meal!"

After chatting with Wu Qi for a few more words, Pei Weiruo hung up the phone feeling lost. Although he was happy that Wu Qi was selected for the national team, he still felt a little sad in his heart. Use your skills to win honor for the national team...

Shaking his head, he shook off the sadness in his mind, go to sleep, tomorrow's game is very important.

Because Pei Wei's state was affected by flying around some time ago, Mallorca did not play well in the previous rounds and has fallen to third place, three points behind Real Madrid, while Valencia However, they made a sudden effort quietly. After winning consecutive victories, they have surpassed Real Madrid to the top of the list. The highlight of this round of competition is Real Madrid's home game against Valencia, and Mallorca can secretly Take a breather, their opponent Albacete is not strong, it is a good opportunity for them to grab points, and they can also use this to shorten the gap with the top of the list.

Ibagaza's cross from the side crossed Albacete's penalty area, and the penalty area was immediately turned upside down. Both Delgado and Eto'o failed to find opportunities under the close pressure of the opponent's defender, and suddenly a figure came out of the crowd. , volleyed the ball with his left foot, the opposing goalkeeper tried his best to make a save, but still failed to touch the ball. Unfortunately, in the hopeful eyes of all the Mallorca fans, the ball bounced heavily between the crossbar and the post Coming back, Albacete's defender scrambled to kick the ball out of the touchline before the attacker could shoot.

"Damn it!" Manzano thumped the lawn heavily. At the San Moise Stadium in Mallorca, the Albacete team, which was on the verge of relegation, played extremely tenaciously. The players are a little helpless, coupled with good luck, Mallorca has no less than [-] shots so far, and there is nothing they can do about the opponent.

"How's the situation over there?" Manzano looked at the field, but asked Ferrando next to him.

Ferrando knew what he was asking, and he smiled wryly: "It's still 0:1, Valencia is leading the away game."

Manzano became more and more anxious. If he was really tied by Albacete, the opponent would widen the gap in points. Could it be that Mallorca's championship hope this season is in vain again?
Pei Wei got up from the ground, shook his head helplessly, his luck was really not very good, just now he took the risk of being hit by the opponent's defender to shoot, but was blocked by the goal post, the game is almost over, could it be Drawn by such a weak team?
Ibagaza did not directly send the corner kick into the penalty area. Since his side has an absolute advantage in technology, there is no need to rush to attack. It is more reliable to rely on the organization of the midfield.

There have always been two defensive midfielders who have been inseparable by Pei Wei's side. Now La Liga teams know that if they want to beat Mallorca, they must keep a close eye on Pei Wei. create a threat.

Pei Wei also has a headache. It seems that everyone has a misunderstanding all the time, that is, the level of defensive players in La Liga is relatively low among the four major leagues. In fact, if we talk about the fierceness of the defenders, the defenders in La Liga are still higher than those in Serie A. , Only slightly lower than the Premier League, which can be seen from the fact that many famous "butchers" in history have appeared in La Liga.

Their defensive level is not world-class, but in terms of fierceness, they are definitely among the top in the world.

Whenever he gets the ball, those two strong midfielders will press him closely and never let him enter within 30 meters of the goal. Once Pei Wei is about to take the ball and break through them Will immediately foul, at such a long distance, the threat of a free kick to Albacete's goal is not very great.

Despite this, Pei Wei ran hard in the midfield and still found a good opportunity. After speeding up and temporarily throwing off the opponent's mark, he got a cross pass from Campano in front of the penalty area and glanced at the situation around him. Suddenly, under the attack of several defenders, a wonderful oblique pass was sent out. Wang Xiaomin, who was plugging in at high speed, happened to receive the ball when he rushed to the small penalty area. He hesitated for a while, as if he wanted to pass the ball, but look Until Mallorca's striker was under the strict marking of the opponent, he gritted his teeth and shot directly with his left foot!

"Dizzy!" The fans in the stands fell down a lot, and the players on the field looked at Wang Xiaomin who was smiling like an idiot. The veins on Pei Wei's face popped up a few times, and finally he couldn't hold it back. He yelled at Wang Xiaomin: "Can you shoot? You can't kick the ball at five meters away? A light push is enough. Why are you pumping it hard? It's okay to pump it vigorously, but you actually kicked it?" flawed!"

Wang Xiaomin rubbed his head, he really couldn't find anything to refute, just now his foot just wiped the side of the ball, the ball bounced out of the baseline, the last must-goal Mallorca didn't even get a corner kick arrive.

"I don't know how to shoot..." Wang Xiaomin said aggrievedly, "I have been playing as a full-back since I was a child. I only practiced passing and never shot. When did you see me shoot? Can you blame me?" ?"

Pei Wei stared at Wang Xiaomin for a long while, and finally gave up in discouragement: "Okay, okay, go back to defense first, okay? I will teach you how to shoot when I train later."

Wang Xiaomin turned around and walked towards his own half, muttering as he walked: "How to learn to shoot, as a full-back, passing and defending is enough..."

It took Manzano on the sidelines a long time to struggle to get up from the ground. Now he finally knows what the old scout Bravo meant when he said "the shot missed the goal". After a while, I was also blind, why didn't I notice this all the time, except for the goalkeeper Bolano, this guy has never scored a goal among the main players on the field, even Potenza, who is a full-back In the previous few rounds of the league, Wang Xiaomin has played nearly twenty games, and even the statistics of shots are only the one just now. I should have found out a long time ago!

In the end, Mallorca won the game. In a corner kick, captain Nadal made up the ball that bounced off the goal frame against Delgado. Mallorca took the lead with a difficult goal at home. Albacete.

In stoppage time, Manzano got another unexpected piece of good news. Real Madrid, who were playing at home on another field, won a penalty in the last minute of the game. Although the penalty was controversial, Ronaldo remained calm He personally scored the penalty kick, and Real Madrid finally drew with Valencia at home.

At the end of the game, Mallorca got these three points and shortened the gap between the top two. The whole team was very happy. The only person who felt depressed was probably Wang Xiaomin, because of his ridiculously crooked shot, In the Mallorca team, he has a not very pleasant nickname: "stinky feet".
