Chinese champion

Chapter 197 Everyone Thinks of One
On April 4, in the 18rd round of La Liga, Mallorca played against Villarreal at home.

This is a game where the goals are like plum blossoms, 4:4. This score also set a record for the tie with the most goals in La Liga this season. The two sides fully showed their perfect offensive side to the 2 people present. Many fans, although Mallorca finally won the last round against Betis, they paid a heavy price. Wang Xiaomin accumulated four yellow cards and was unable to play. There was a phenomenon of loss of strength, and it was necessary to take a rest. Mallorca's defense line lost two main players at once. The position, this hastily formed defense line was stretched under Villarreal's all-round attack, Sonny Anderson scored twice, Jose Mari scored once, Riquelme assisted twice, and the penalty kick scored One goal, this is the game that Mallorca conceded the most goals this season, and in Mallorca, Pei Wei's amazing four assists led to the multi-faceted development of the team's offensive line. Eto'o, Garcia, Both Ibagaza and Delgado, who replaced him in the second half, scored a goal. These four assists also enabled him to surpass Riquelme and climbed to the top of the La Liga assist list this season with 21 assists!
However, compared with the happy event that Pei Wei ranked first in the La Liga assist list, Manzano is obviously not happy-although Valencia was also tied 2:2 by Real Sociedad in this round, but Real Madrid won. Relying on Ronaldo's two goals in the away game, they defeated the city's rival Atletico Madrid 2:1. With 70 points, they tied with Valencia in the standings and ranked first with a slight advantage of three goal differences. , Leading Mallorca by four points, now Mallorca needs to catch up to two opponents instead of one.

There is a saying that there are no doubts and no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers. (Guo Nu: "Uh, don't hit me... This is not a storytelling, I am too involved.")
On April 4th, Mallorca challenged the underdog Valladolid in an away game. Ibagaza, who has been in excellent form recently, had another wonderful performance. His personal breakthrough opened the record for Mallorca. The third goal scored, although the opponent equalized the score just after the second half, but Mallorca, who missed the chance to grab points in the last game, will never make the same mistake again. Eto'o, who is not in good form this round, will be replaced Robert, who played, showed his might and scored twice. Mallorca won 25:3.

In the most eye-catching game of the round, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-1 away, with two goals from Kluivert and Xavi making Solari's efforts futile At the same time, their young goalkeeper Valdez's performance like a god is also one of the reasons for their victory. Barcelona finally reported their revenge for losing at home in the first leg.

Good news kept coming. Valencia was also tied 1:1 by Bilbao, who played fiercely in the away game. There were two consecutive draws in the league. However, relying on this point, they once again surpassed Real Madrid and dominated with 71 points. Although Mallorca still ranks third with 69 points, the gap with the top two is only 2 points and 1 point.

The Spanish football world is crazy. There are still four rounds left in the league. The gap between the top three in the standings is less than two points. This is the first time in La Liga in the past ten years. The ownership is still uncertain, but that is only limited to two teams, and there are actually three this season!What's even more frightening is that after the No.4 Barcelona has won consecutive victories over Valladolid, Malaga and Real Madrid, their points have also reached * points, only seven points away from Valencia, and theoretically they still have the chance to win the championship. possibility!
From the perspective of the following four opponents, it is clear that Mallorca is more favorable. Except for the opponent Real Madrid in the 36th round, which is their direct competitor, among the other three teams, Malaga and the Spaniard are not on the table. There is no worry about relegation for a team that does not fall, and the qualification for the UEFA Cup cannot be obtained. Only the opponent Celta in the last round may be a little more difficult to avoid relegation, and Valencia's opponents include Betis, Sevilla and Viola. The three teams competing for qualification for the UEFA Cup and Albacete, the relegation team in the final round, as for Real Madrid, apart from having a direct contest with Mallorca, the remaining opponents include La Real For strong teams like Coruña and Real Sociedad, only Murcia, who has already been relegated, is easier to deal with. From the perspective of the schedule, Real Madrid is the least optimistic one.

Who will win the overlord of La Liga this season, no one can tell now!

"What? You want to ask for leave?" Manzano raised his head and looked at Pei Wei who was standing upright in front of him, his eyes were full of surprise: "Please take five days off, why?"

"Because I want to participate in the match between the Chinese Olympic team and the South Korean Olympic team at home on May 5." Pei Wei said calmly.

Manzano turned the pen in his hand, looked at Pei Wei and said: "We have not received a summoning order from the Chinese Football Association, and that day is not an international match day."

"I know." Pei Wei nodded: "But I want to participate in that game."

"Isn't the Chinese Olympic team still five points behind the Korean Olympic team? And there are only two games left, and the chance of qualifying is basically gone. What's the use of you going back at this time?" Manzano asked calmly.

Pei Wei smiled bitterly. Half a month ago, the Chinese Olympic team showed amazing fighting spirit at the famous "visiting team's grave" Azadi Stadium. They evened the score twice after falling behind twice, and in At the last moment, Zhanfeng scored a crucial header and beat Iran 3:2, ranking second in the group with seven points, while South Korea beat Malaysia 4:0 at home and achieved a four-game winning streak. Victory, firmly holding the first position in the group.

"I also know that even if we can win against South Korea, Athens is out of reach for us, but..." He clenched his fists: "I just want to go back and defeat South Korea! Let them know that it's not that they have this Strength defeated us, but we did not give our best!"

"Nonsense!" Manzano couldn't bear it anymore, and slammed the folder in his hand on the table, making a loud noise: "Why are you playing a game that is obviously useless? Do you want to win against South Korea so much?" ? Now the league is the most critical moment, can't you think about it for the club?"

"I'm sorry..." Pei Wei lowered his voice: "I know that this will have a great impact on the club, but I can't help it... I really want to play that game, and I will try not to delay the club. Yes, I will fly back immediately after the game on the night of the 1st to catch up with the game on the 2nd, and the club will not suffer any losses!"

Manzano didn't know what to say. After a long time, he yelled in a low voice: "Do you think you are an iron man? You can still play vigorously after traveling thousands of miles in two days? What are you kidding! Let me tell you, even if you can come back that day, I will not let you play, even if you lose this game and lose the league championship! You go out first!"

Pei Wei suddenly felt hot in his eyes. Although Manzano said it hard, he had actually agreed to him to return to China for the competition. Pei Wei felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by something. Sano bowed and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you coach!" Then he ran out of Manzano's office without looking back.

Manzano looked deeply at his back, until Pei Wei ran out of his line of sight before retracting his gaze, and sighed leisurely.

"Young man, you don't think about the consequences when you do things, and just act on impulse. This is good, let me, an old guy, clean up the mess for him." Manzano shook his head and laughed at himself for his old-fashionedness: " Now, I have to think about how to arrange the lineup for the game..."

**************************************
After consideration, Pei Wei decided to fly to Hong Kong first, and then fly directly from Hong Kong to Changsha, Hunan, where the game will be held. Since there is no direct flight from Mallorca to Changsha, he chose the closest route Lu, just to be on the safe side, he entrusted Xiao Jun, who is currently on a business trip in Hong Kong, to book a plane ticket from Hong Kong to Changsha on the 27th. Of course, in exchange, he also told Xiao Jun his purpose this time.

After getting the air ticket from Xiao Jun in Hong Kong, he saw that the plane would take off in a few hours, and he was in good spirits after sleeping on the plane. To pass the time, he walked around the waiting hall. stand up.

Although he was wearing sunglasses, he was recognized by a reporter who was also waiting for the plane to take off at the airport.

"Pei Wei! Are you Pei Wei?" the reporter asked excitedly.

Pei Wei took off his sunglasses helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Your eyes are so sharp, you can even recognize me like this. It seems that I should put on some makeup next time."

"Haha, no matter how you put on makeup, you will be recognized. How many people who eat football in China don't know you." The reporter smiled and handed over a business card: "I am Ding, a reporter from "Football Weekly" Li, nice to meet you."

Pei Wei took the business card and looked him up and down, but he couldn't connect the heroic Ding Li played by Lu Liangwei in "Shanghai Beach" with the thin guy in front of him.

"My stance is standing, not strength." Ding Li is obviously often misunderstood by others: "Actually, I was in my early twenties when the series came out, and I didn't intend to impress them. oh!"

Pei Wei laughed, he thought this reporter was an interesting guy.

"You returned to China to participate in the game against South Korea, right?" Ding Li asked chatteringly: "Great, we will definitely win against South Korea with you! It's a pity that you came back too late, otherwise we must be the ones going to Athens!"

"Yes." Pei Wei said sadly. Undoubtedly, not being able to participate in the Athens Olympics has become a pain in the heart of this group of players.

"It's not your fault, it's all the Football Association's fault! Ah, I was wrong, it was the former Football Association!" Ding Li was obviously on their side: "Besides, as long as the Korean team is eliminated in this game, they will never dare to Look down on us, come on!"

Pei Wei was suddenly touched. What the reporter in front of him said just now was obviously not like what a reporter said, but more like a fan who broke his heart for Chinese football. China will never lack such fans. Just like there will never be a lack of hot-blooded men...

"Are you tired?" Ding Li asked kindly: "Don't worry, I know you must have flown back overnight and you must be very tired. I won't disturb you. Besides, I don't have any interview tasks this time, but... ...I have one more request..."

He took out a notebook and a pen from his side as if juggling, and handed them to Pei Wei: "Please sign for me! Hehe, it's purely a personal request!"

Pei Wei also smiled. He happily took the notebook and pen, and happily signed his name.

"Thank you!" Ding Li took the notebook and pen, and thanked Pei Wei again and again: "I won't disturb you, you rest, I'm leaving!"

************************************
After this episode, Pei Wei arrived in Changsha five hours later. When he found the residence of the Olympic team and was about to surprise He Jin, he was surprised.

"You... are all back?" Seeing Zhu Jun, Wu Qi, Hu Yong, Zhang Qi, Li Min and Du Wei sitting leisurely in the lobby of the hotel, Pei Wei was dumbfounded.

"Why did you come so late, I almost lost money!" Zhu Jun stood up and complained, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Qi: "Bring the money!"

Zhang Qi took out a [-]-yuan note with a look of displeasure on his face and slapped it on Zhu Jun's hand. Li Min and Du Wei did the same and paid Wu Qi and Hu Yong [-] yuan.

"This is... what's going on?" Pei Wei looked at them in surprise: "You are all back? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Do you think you just want to beat the Korean team? We also want to!" Hu Yong said with a smile: "But we wanted to surprise you, so we didn't inform you when we came back. As for this..." Hu Yong twisted Twirling the money in his hand: "This bet was proposed by Zhu Jun. He said that you will definitely come back. Wu Qi and I also think so, but Zhang Qi and the others don't believe it. They think that Mallorca will definitely not let go at this juncture of the league. You come back, so I bet 100 yuan!"

"I didn't expect that I was only worth 100 yuan..." Pei Wei complained, and he fully understood why he called Zhu Jun and the others when he was about to leave, but they all turned off their phones. I guess they must have been on the plane at that time.

"I really didn't expect you to come too, it seems that this is a kind of understanding!" Pei Wei said with a smile.

"It should be said that we all want to go together..." Du Wei raised his voice: "That is..."

"Beat South Korea!" Everyone said in unison.
