football world number one

Chapter 191 Two Messages
August 27th is a very ordinary day for European football.

The five major leagues are about to start, and the transfer operations of each team are coming to an end. Most of those heavy signings have come to an end, and the rest are just some lucky, no-no, no-nonsense negotiations.

However, in China, two news caused a sensation among fans.

First, the Premier League club Manchester United officially announced today that the Chinese player Dong Fangzhuo in the team will transfer to Dalian Shide Club of China in the form of a free transfer. Next season, he will represent Dalian Shide in the Chinese Super League.

And after the transfer announcement was announced, the out-of-the-way reports that had been suppressed by the domestic blind praise of Dong Fangzhuo were turned up one after another.

Being too introverted, communicating too little with teammates, refusing the club's treatment advice after being injured and resolutely participating in the Olympics led to increased injuries, declining status, and too fierce competition within the team. These are some objective comments.

In fact, the most popular in China is another interpretation, another interpretation that also has ironclad evidence.

First, some Chinese sports reporters based in London broke the news that Dong Fangzhuo was addicted to bars and karaoke halls, and then some insiders broke the news that Dong Fangzhuo was late for training in the team to play big names.

What's more, Dong Fangzhuo's private life was directly picked up, that is, he used his first salary at Manchester United to buy a luxury car comparable to the club's world-class stars, and he didn't even try to learn English after being in the UK for so long.

Obviously, Manchester United's abandonment of him is definitely not just because of his injury. His arrogance or lack of ability to break into the team makes it completely difficult for him to stay in Manchester United.

In the end, Ferguson, who had high hopes for him when he was introduced, could only make this final decision. The two parties broke up peacefully and have been strangers since then.

In short, King Dong, who just helped the Chinese men's football team score the first and only goal in the Olympic Games, returned to China amidst the attitudes of the fans who were either puzzled or angry, or hated iron and steel, or sneered.

But at such a time, a live interview from far away Italy brought a completely different feeling to the fans.

Looking at Conte sitting as the head coach, domestic fans can still vaguely recall his wonderful performances in the major giants in the past few years.

However, in the live broadcast, what he said and his eyes kept drifting to his side obviously affected the minds of domestic fans even more.

This is Piacenza's first external conference before the opening of Serie A. After this conference, Piacenza will go to Turin to play away against the Red Bull Torino in four days.

There is no doubt that it is not good news for Piacenza to face a veteran Serie A team like Torino at the beginning, but the confident smiles of Conte and Liu Feng sitting at the table make people feel no anxiety.

"Yes, we are ready for the journey to Serie A."

As the team's new coach, Conte behaved very naturally when facing media inquiries: "We introduced a large number of immediate combat forces in the summer window, which is very helpful for the team to face the challenges of the new season."

"Liu Feng, do you think you can adapt to the rhythm of Serie A in the new season?"

After asking Conte, the reporters turned the topic to Piacenza's young captain, but the questions raised by the media seemed a bit...

"Well, as a professional player, I believe that I can adapt to all competitions, including the journey of the new season of Serie A."

Liu Feng responded to the reporter's question with a polite smile: "At the same time, what I want to say is that our entire team is gearing up for the upcoming new season."

During the interview, there were also Chinese media who rushed to the interview. Liu Feng was also very friendly when he saw the Chinese people, and he even directly adopted Chinese when answering the questions raised by domestic reporters.

Fortunately, when Liu Feng was interviewed, the news of Dong Fangzhuo's transfer to Dalian Shide had not been announced, so he was not pestered to ask his opinion on this matter.

Domestic reporters conveyed more to Liu Feng the high hopes and expectations placed on him by domestic fans.

No way, the number of Chinese players playing in the five major leagues has begun to decrease, and many of them are close to 30 years old. Young players are really rare.

After the news of Dong Fangzhuo's return to China was announced, there were very few Chinese players in the new season of the five major leagues.

Zheng Zhi sticks to Charlton in the English Championship, and Sun Jihai also joined the English Championship team Sheffield United as a free agent after leaving Manchester City for seven years this summer, both of which are teams in the second-tier league.

Today, only Liu Feng from Serie A Piacenza and Shao Jiayi who plays for Bundesliga Cottbus are still struggling with the dream of the five major leagues with hundreds of millions of Chinese fans.

Among them, only Liu Feng represents the team as the core and captain of the team. How can the fans not put their hopes on him?
All in all, the live video of Liu Feng and Conte being interviewed on behalf of Piacenza has once again attracted the attention of countless enthusiastic fans in China.

After the anticlimactic Olympic team game, more and more fans have realized the unreasonableness of the Football Association and its behavior of harming domestic football for the sake of insanity.

In the end, more and more fans began to choose to pay attention to foreign players. They couldn't see the peace of mind. As long as China still has overseas players like Liu Feng worthy of attention, it doesn't matter if they don't watch the domestic dark games.

Since foreign reporters need to sort out and edit after the interview, the news of Dong Fangzhuo's transfer and Liu Feng's attendance at the press conference in Piacenza as the captain appeared in the newspapers of the day at the same time.

Looking at the contrasting news in the two pages of the newspaper, the fans who still occupy a very large share in the country and rely on physical media for football news only feel absurd.

Since Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United in 2004, domestic fans have been looking forward to him as a rare talent in China to represent the Red Devils in the Premier League, looking forward to his growth into a world-class superstar at Manchester United.

But today, Dong Fangzhuo, who played a handful of times for Manchester United, returned to China in disgrace, and Liu Feng, who was not well-known in China before last year, has brought a Serie B team to Serie A.

Such a change is really embarrassing.

Two pieces of news, two futures. Since then, the Chinese twin stars, who have been expected by fans in China for a year, have embarked on a completely different football road.

Three days passed in a hurry. At 31:[-] BJ time on the evening of August [-], the newly promoted Piacenza's away game against Turin will begin soon.

　Looking at the current situation where only the martial arts king alone supports China in the five major leagues, I am really embarrassed.
