Chinese champion

Chapter 220 The Path of Glory

With the end of the Asian Cup, the highest level of football competition in the three continents in the midsummer of 2004 finally came to an end. If you use one sentence to describe the champions of the three major cups, the European champion Greece is a typical one black to the end, and the South American champion Brazil is It is what everyone expects. As for the Asian champion China, the world's major sports media have all used titles such as "Unexpected, Unexpected" to describe it!
The expected meaning is simple. With eight players from the five major European leagues, the Chinese team is already stronger than other teams in this Asian Cup. Coupled with the advantage of having a home court, winning the championship is relatively easy. Much simpler.

Compared with the expected, the meaning contained in the unexpected is much more complicated and intriguing.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese team, which also has many European league players, was so vulnerable under the pressure of the Chinese team. There were not many threatening shots in the whole game. The ball was still an obvious handball. Compared with the three goals of the Chinese team, both in the process and the result, this handball seemed so shameless and shabby-no ruffian won!The Chinese team's leading position in Asia seems to be completely unshakable for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, the referee on duty, Fadili from Kuwait, staged an absurd law enforcement performance in full view of [-] Chinese fans. To describe it, shortly after the final, the Chinese Football Association's appeal materials and detailed on-site video were sent to the Arbitration Committee of the AFC. Yes, Luo Gang, who led the team, claimed at the press conference that the referee of the final has seriously hurt the feelings of Chinese fans, and there must be a conspiracy against Chinese football behind it. If the AFC cannot give a fair judgment , then the Chinese Football Association will sue until FIFA, and there is a posture of breaking the boat.

The emergence of the Chinese Football Association made the AFC a little unprepared. Verapan never thought that the Chinese Football Association would still be so persistent after winning the championship. Is that still the Chinese who are known for "repaying grievances with virtue"?

In fact, there are some other voices within the Football Association. The more typical one is that since you have already won the championship, there is no need to make such a big fanfare and indict the teacher. Keep everything on the line and see each other in the future. But Fang Yatao and Luo Gang agreed that this time Just take this opportunity to change the situation that the Chinese Football Association has no right to speak in the AFC. No matter what the result is, after the Football Association’s appeal this time, whoever wants to come up with out-of-the-box tricks to rectify the Chinese team will have to weigh it carefully , Is it worth it!

No matter what the final result is, after this incident, Fang Yatao's title of "iron-fisted chairman" has been completely established. Everyone knows that the current Chinese Football Association is simply a hornet's nest, and it is impossible to touch it.

The above incidents should be a headache for the Chinese Football Association, and Pei Wei and the others began to really enjoy this holiday.

Except for Ligue 8 and Bundesliga, which started the first round on the same day as the Asian Cup final, the other leagues will not restart until the end of August or early September, so except for Zhang Qi and Du Wei who returned to Europe reluctantly , the other five went home and began to enjoy family happiness.

Different from their leisurely life, Liu Qinglin, their agent, was very busy during this period. He had just finalized the three-year contract with Udinese for Hu Yong, and he was busy providing services for Wu Qi, Zhu Jun, and Li Min. and Pei Wei's new contract.

Li Min is relatively easy to say, Tottenham offered him a two-year contract extension, and Li Min seems to be willing to continue to stay in this London team, the two parties reached an agreement very quickly, and the contract was signed soon It is set, before 2007, Li Min will always play in the Premier League as a Tottenham player.

When Wu Qi was still worrying about the standard of less than 70.00% five for the national team, the pie fell from the sky. After a long discussion, the old guys of the FA finally passed a Proposal to change the residence period of non-EU players in Europe from four years to three years. Wu Qi happened to have played in Belgium for three years, and he has reached this standard. After getting this news, Ferguson never committed another three years The previous mistake, re-signed a new contract with Wu Qi in the first time. After three years of waiting, Wu Qi finally became a member of the Red Devils, and Anderlecht also got Manchester United 300 million Euro and American goalkeeper Howard is compensated for free joining.

"Hehe... Congratulations, you have finally become an official player of Manchester United!" Pei Wei said to Wu Qi on the phone.

"Yeah, I am also very happy, but leaving Anderlecht makes me a little sad. The fans there are really good, and I am a little reluctant to leave them." Wu Qi said a little sadly.

"There is no way, people go to high places, the League can no longer bring you anything now, the Premier League is where you can develop, think about it, there, you will grow into a world-class goalkeeper, let everyone Road forwards are defeated by your ten fingers... are you excited?" Pei Wei said with a smile.

"That's true." Wu Qi was in a better mood: "By the way, where are you going to be next season, stay in Mallorca or go back to Inter Milan, or go to other places?"

Pei Wei was silent for a while, and he kept thinking about this question: "I don't know, but now, my first choice is Mallorca, but the premise is that Mallorca wants to strengthen its own strength, King's Cup, UEFA Cup, League title. I would like to win the Champions League again... But these guys are not enough, if Mallorca can bring in a few players of sufficient quality while retaining the current players, I will stay .”

In fact, Pei Wei also said this to Liu Qinglin, the first choice is Mallorca, and the second choice is Inter Milan!Pei Wei will consider going to other places unless both parties don't want him!

In the past three years, this beautiful island has been deeply imprinted in Pei Wei's heart. Compared with the Inter Milan in his dream, everything here seems to be more real!
"I want to stay in Mallorca, really, as long as Samuel and the coach stay here, this place will always be my first choice." Pei Wei said sincerely to Manzano on the phone.

Manzano put down the phone and smiled.

"Robert, do you need anyone else?" Moratti asked a handsome middle-aged man in front of him with a smile at No. 24 Milan Durini Avenue.

This middle-aged man is Inter Milan's new head coach, former Italian superstar Roberto Mancini.

"With Dejan Stankovic, we have an attacker on the left or right, which is enough. Now I think, I only need an attacking midfielder!" Manci Ni said lightly.

"An attacking midfielder?" Moratti's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I think I have a suitable candidate!"

"Is that the Chinese guy?" Mancini smiled: "He is really good! He can lead Mallorca to win the La Liga championship. There must be no problem in terms of strength, but in terms of defense, he is not very reassuring!"

Moratti is also aware of this problem. If Pei Wei is put in the lineup of four midfielders, the defensive player in the midfield will only be Cambiasso. In the Italian league where defense is paramount, this is undoubtedly suicide. Such a choice!

"However, it is impossible for such an excellent star to let go for nothing. I think it is better to take him back and see the effect!" Mancini said slowly: "Of course, the loan of Veron should also be accelerated. He is unhappy at Chelsea and the Premier League is not for him!"

"I see, I will let the people below speed up, do you need to add anyone to the forward line?" Moratti asked.

"I don't think so!" Mancini certainly knows the boss's "super striker" complex: "With the combination of Popo (Vieri), Leiter (Adriano) and **** Dings) With Avaro (Recoba) as a substitute, this kind of forward line is not inferior to anyone else!"

"Okay!" Moratti also laughed: "I hope Inter Milan will be different from the past under your leadership!"

"I will do it!" Mancini nodded vigorously!
**************************************
"I think I need another player!" said a cool middle-aged man to Chelsea Abramovich at Chelsea headquarters.

"No problem! As long as you want whoever you want, I will buy it for you!" In international football, there is probably only one person who can say that, and that is Abramovich!

Chelsea's new head coach Jose Mourinho has only now deeply felt Abramovich's generosity. Several players he asked for after taking office have already been in his hands under Abramovich's money offensive, including the Dutch genius Arjen Robben As well as his former Porto player Ferreira and the Eredivisie golden boot Kezman, no one can support for a long time under the power of money!
"I want that Chinese!"

"You mean the Chinese who led Mallorca to the La Liga championship last year? That kid named Pei Wei?" Abu raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! I'm optimistic about his strength!" Mourinho said categorically: "Mallorca without Pei Wei is just a second-rate team. You must know that there is no real meaning among his teammates except Eto'o. The first-class players in the world are such a group of players who have won the La Liga championship under his leadership. Believe in my vision, in the near future, he will definitely become a superstar like Zidane. Now is the time to buy him Best time!"

"Are you so optimistic about him?" Abramovich smiled: "Okay, I will offer Inter Milan tomorrow, how about 2000 million euros? It's almost there? Besides, we still have a bargaining chip, that is Veron, Inter Milan is I want to rent him out!"

"It can be paid up to 3000 million if necessary! He is definitely worth this amount!"

****************************************
"Chairman! We must keep Pei Wei! Even if we pay a big price!" Manzano said to Alemani seriously.

"It doesn't matter, you are responsible for negotiating with Inter Milan. We have achieved good results in recent years. This year, the board of directors will give you 3000 million euros in transfer funds, and you will be the sole agent!" Alemani said with a smile.

"3000 million?" Manzano pondered for a while: "It's almost enough, half of this money will be used to keep Pei Wei, and the rest of the money can be used to find a good partner for Samuel and supplement the defense line. gone."

"Pfft!" The tea in Alemani's mouth sprayed all over the floor, he blushed and coughed for a long time before looking at Manzano with an unbelievable gaze: "You...are you crazy? Pay 1500 million euros for Pei Wei? Do you know how high the price is?"

"Absolutely not high." Manzano said calmly: "I would be very happy if I could buy all the ownership of Pei Wei for 1500 million. If you are willing to stay here, the 1500 million is definitely not enough! The people of Inter Milan are not fools. Pei Wei's performance in recent years is completely at Zidane's level, and he is only under 22 years old... Knowing that Real Madrid bought Qidane How much did Dane spend?"

"That's too high!" Alemani was dumbfounded: "We are a small club and can't afford such a star! Let's forget it, the 1500 million can buy three or four capable players. Can't you compare to Pei Wei? Or can't you continue to rent?"

"This is not feasible at all!" Manzano calmed down: "Mr. Chairman, this is the only chance for us in Mallorca to have Pei Wei for a long time. His contract with Inter Milan only has one year left. Inter Milan Certainly not watching him go on a free transfer after his contract expires, either we buy him, or he re-signs with Inter Milan, or is bought by other teams... if other teams buy him , we will not get any benefit because he is only on loan from us."

"Okay then..." After all the talking, Alemani finally agreed: "You take full responsibility for it, and I hope it's what you said, he's worth the amount!"

"You won't regret it!" Manzano said with satisfaction.

"Pei, I have good news for you." Manzano called Pei Wei immediately after he walked out of the chairman's office: "I have already convinced the chairman, and I will officially propose to Inter Milan to buy you soon. It is probably not a big deal. There are still two years left on Samuel's contract. If this year's performance is good, we will have enough funds to buy back his other half ownership next year. By then, Mallorca will have the opportunity to board their own peak!"

"Great!" While Pei Wei was happy about the news, he also felt that the blue-black dream seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him...
