Chinese champion

Chapter 416 The Top of the World

"A New Grand Slam Winner! "

On the second day after the Club World Cup ended, the world's major sports media immediately published the news on the front page.

The "Sports Weekly" where Xiao Jun belongs used two full pages to describe the Club World Cup: "Inter Milan won and won the World Club Cup. Their strength, as long as they have no problems, no matter how well Boca Juniors play, it will be difficult to prevent them from reaching the top. However, after winning this championship, their midfielder Pei Wei has already won the championship in his career. No. 16 championship trophies! (Note: in the club) one Spanish King's Cup, one UEFA Cup, one La Liga, four Italian Cups, three Italian Super Cups, three Serie A champions, one European Cup Champions League champion, a European Super Cup champion, plus the World Club Cup champion, Pei Wei has included all the champions that a player can win in the club! And in two different five major European leagues Only Zidane can be compared with him for winning the league championship in the league! Even in the national team, Pei Wei's achievements are also brilliant, the World Youth Championship, the Asian Cup champion, the Olympic champion, a professional player can win The only honor he has left is the World Cup! I can't believe that the players with such brilliant achievements are actually us Chinese!"

"Ten years ago, even five years ago, we couldn't have imagined that Chinese football would have such a day, with such brilliant achievements and infinitely imaginative prospects. In 1999, when our football seemed unrecognizable At the moment of any hope, we suddenly discovered that there is a 19-year-old boy who has already settled down in far away Italy, and has become an absolute core in the reserve team of the world's giants Inter Milan. He led the Chinese youth team to a miraculous Won the championship of the World Youth Championship, although after that exciting World Youth Championship, a considerable number of young players from China have gained a firm foothold in the five major European leagues and become one of the countless bright stars , but Pei Wei is still the most shining one among them. He has created countless records and stood at a height that no one seemed to be able to reach again and again. Pei Wei seems to be born to be a champion and honor A born player, a player born to perform miracles."

"It is not easy to achieve this in the club's Grand Slam. What is even more commendable is that in this process, Pei Wei did not appear as a dispensable player, whether in Mallorca or Inter Milan, he is the absolute main force and core player. No one can deny that these sixteen golden trophies have left Pei Wei's hard work and struggle. Here we seem to be able to imagine, next, is it Pei Wei? How about leading the Chinese team to the podium of the world championship and lifting the Hercules Cup that footballers dream of? You know, Pei Wei is only 25 years old, and he has a group of strong teammates around him. First, maybe it wasn't a dream..."

Even CCTV Sports Channel made a special program to review Pei Wei's career so far, from the National Youth League and Hu Yong's battle, to the blockbuster in the World Youth Championship, and then in Mallorca. The miracle champion, from the dormancy in the early stage of Inter Milan to the current sweeping the world... The three-hour film perfectly summarizes Pei Wei's growth process over the past ten years, and the title of this episode is also very sensational: "Miracle, The growth path of China's football champion"

******************************************
"China's football champion? Hehe, it's a very stressful title."

Lying on the comfortable sofa at home, Pei Wei watched the whole movie with squinted eyes, and then said to Marco with a smile: "I remember that only Li Huitang in the 30s and 2000s was called that by Chinese players. Right? At that time, he was selected as the "top five players in the world" together with Brazil's Pele, England's Matthews, Spain's Stefano and Hungary's Puskas, with statistics reaching more than 1 goals 17, more than Pele. Although many of the games he participated in were friendly matches, the total number of goals scored was indeed No.42 in history. He became a professional player at the age of 25 and retired at the age of 80. He played for [-] years In professional competitions, Mateus is not qualified to be called an "evergreen tree" in front of his old man. The demeanor of his predecessors is indeed admirable. After his old man, probably only Rong Zhixing in the [-]s and [-]s is qualified to be called this way Alright, I am ashamed to be compared with these two seniors, who has been praised by Pele."

"Look at your hypocrisy!" Marco slapped him with a smile, and then asked curiously: "More than 2000 goals? Is it true? Isn't it incredible?"

"Well, I'm not sure, and I guess no one can make accurate statistics, but many literatures say this, I think it shouldn't be wrong, and although most of his games are played in Asia , but it is not too rare to play against the British team, the birthplace of modern football. It is still more wins and fewer losses. Moreover, modern football was only developed in the world in the 30s and [-]s. From this perspective, Li Huitang and his old man were It is not wrong to be called a world-class football champion, and one thing is true, Li Huitang has a record of shooting through the net several times in the game! Another time kicked the opponent's goalkeeper with a dribble to the goal Li! As a result, the poor goalkeeper immediately vomited! Judging from this record, among other things, this foot strength alone is quite rare even in modern football."

"Shoot through the net? Can't it?" Marco was even more surprised: "Even Roberto Carlos shot at a top speed of 140 kilometers per hour in his heyday! A free kick shot in the 90 World Cup is said to have reached a speed of 210 kilometers per hour, but there is no official test record! And even if it is a shot at a speed of 210 kilometers per hour, it is impossible to shoot the net even if it is on the goal line. Shoot through! This is probably a bluff, right?"

"You don't believe it?" Pei Wei asked Marco with a smile, and then said after seeing Marco's nod: "I didn't believe it at first, because my shooting power is considered great, but I know, Even if my shooting power is doubled, I'm afraid I can't shoot through the net! If I can shoot through the net, then my feet will become 'weapons of mass destruction', and I'm afraid the US Security Agency will Lock me up! But then I figured out one thing, and then I found out that this record must be true."

"Why?" Marco was puzzled.

"Silly girl." Pei Wei smiled and patted her head: "When did Li Huitang play the game? In the 30s! How could the quality of the net be as good as it is now? Maybe just hang a net on it Even if it is the net, it is not as strong as the current net, even if you use a knife to cut it, you have to work hard, and you may not be able to cut it off."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Ma Ke'er suddenly realized: "Haha, I'm so stupid, I didn't even think about such a simple question, but to be honest, with the achievements you have achieved so far, you will be called the 'king of the ball in China' Not too much."

"You don't know, there are too many people who are qualified to be called this in other parallel dimensions, such as Zhang Jun, Ling Feng, Hua Fan, Chu Hen, Jiangnan, Ouyang Dong... My point Success is nothing!" Pei Wei muttered. (It's purely a spoof, please don't take offense.)
"What did you say?" Marco didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." Pei Wei hurriedly blurted the past: "No matter how glorious the past honor is, it is the past. People should always consider the present."

"But now..." Marco said with a smile on his face, "Our Inter Milan doesn't seem to be doing well..."

**************************************************
The current situation of Inter Milan is indeed not very good.

What the Club World Cup brought them was just a trophy that was not too important, but what they lost was the precious physical strength and real loss of the players-Suazo's right phalanx was broken and he was rested for one month, Vieira suffered a waist injury Recurrence, rest for two months, and due to flying back and forth, the physical strength of the players did not recover well at all.

Therefore, in the away game against Lazio after returning to Italy, Baggio could only send out the striker combination of Ibrahimovic and Martins, and the long-term substitute strikers such as Sklavski and Giottos sat on the bench. .

After finally drawing with Lazio in the away game, Inter Milan suffered another serious blow-Ibrahimovic limped off the field due to fatigue and a thigh strain during the game. The medical team concluded that : The injury is not serious, but I have to take good care of it, and I won't be able to play every month.

Baggio, who usually has a refined demeanor, couldn't help cursing: the past half a month is the most important match schedule and the most important moment, when he is either throwing off others or being left behind by others. As a result, his players were injured. Injury, sickness, besides Ronaldinho, who can't run to death, on the front line, the other two main forwards and one main substitute are all injured. What kind of game is this?

With no other choice, Baggio could only push Pei Wei up the front line to replace Ibrahimovic, and sent all three uninjured midfielders up in the midfield. Two wins and one tie in three league games, but in the last match of the Champions League group stage, facing the situation that the group has already secured the first place regardless of the outcome, Baggio was not polite, and almost all of them were sent on the bench at home. Including two little guys who were temporarily transferred from the youth team, the result is also normal-losing to Alkmaar, who has not won in the first five games, just sent this Eredivisie team into the UEFA Cup. After hearing the news, everyone in Lille was scolding their mothers-is it so exciting to beat us, to send all those who are not injured or sick to the field, and to play youth team players when they beat Alkmaar?This is too bullying, right?Isn't it that our France and your Italy were hostile countries during World War II?Is it worth it?
The French seem to have forgotten that the Netherlands seemed to be on the opposite side of Italy during World War II...

Inter Milan's unbeaten record in the Coppa Italia has not ended, but they also failed to enter the quarter-finals-with a full camp of injured soldiers, Inter Milan was helplessly defeated by their old rival Juventus in the quarter-finals. Eliminated, but it’s not a shame to lose. In the case of almost all the youth teams, Inter Milan still drew 1:1 at home, and 0:0 in the away game due to the lack of home and away goals. Inter Milan The fans were very upset.

Regarding this result, the high-level people of the Inter Milan club are also very open-couldn't win the Triple Crown all the time, right?It's just a Coppa Italia, forget it if you can't get it, isn't there a league and a Champions League?That's what counts.

Faced with this situation, Baggio was a bit overwhelmed. He only now discovered why Manzini had grown a lot of gray hair after two years of coaching Inter Milan-it is really worrying. Coaching a giant and being the head of a youth team Coaches are really different.

Now Baggio is looking forward to the winter break. After the new year, some injured players will basically return, and after a period of vacation, the plight of the players' lack of physical strength can be greatly alleviated-Baggio firmly believes that, With the strength of this group of players, as long as they can play at their best, they will still be a Triple Crown team!
Since the start of the new season, the situation of Inter Milan is indeed not very good. Except for the first month or so, Baggio has basically never put together the main lineup under his command. Either this injury or that injury, and an injury is at least a big deal. moon.No matter how good he is in directing on the spot, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

However, in this predicament, there is still good news from Inter Milan. The selection of the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or is about to be announced. Three players from Inter Milan have been selected for the top ten list, namely the midfielder Pei Wei, winger Ronaldinho and striker Ibrahimovic can occupy three places in the top ten, which fully affirms the excellent results Inter Milan has achieved in the field over the past year.

In addition to the three of them, there are several players from Inter Milan who were selected for the first round of 50-man roster, but they were all eliminated. The most regrettable one is Zhuang Feng, whose score is only less than the top ten. A few points, in fact, as the top scorer in Serie A, it is not surprising even if he entered the top ten. If he was not too unknown before that, he would definitely be in the top ten.

When Pei Wei expressed his regret, Zhuang Feng laughed heartily and said a foul word: "I don't care about these things! To be honest, Pei Wei, brother, I'm satisfied enough. I've only played in the professional league for two years. In [-], I won two top scorers and became the main striker of the Triple Crown team. What am I not satisfied with? I really want to win the World Footballer. You guys have struggled in professional football Isn't the guy who has been here for so many years going to die of anger?"

Pei Wei laughed and scolded at that time: "A dog can't spit out ivory."

Wang Xiaomin also joined in the fun at the side: "You should be content, I didn't even make the top [-], it doesn't make sense, it stands to reason that my brother performed well last year, why didn't he even get a nomination?"

"Who wants you to be in the wrong position." Zhuang Feng glanced at him and began to hurt others: "Do you know how difficult it is for a defender to win the Ballon d'Or? It seems that only Maldini and Cannavaro have won it? Maldini Not to mention, the person with you is definitely your idol, right? Cannavaro also got it after winning the World Cup, so I don’t know how many people gossip about it. You, you are wrong That's enough! Men are afraid of entering the wrong line of work, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. You said how good it would be to play as a winger with your breakthrough skills and crossing ability? It is also cool to break through. If you get him more than [-] assists a year, who will you be? I'm sorry not to give you a nomination?" Since An Lei's illness has gradually recovered, Zhuang Feng's mood has also improved a lot, and he has begun to reveal his true nature of meat and vegetables after sweeping away his "handsome and cool nature" like Xiao Ma .

"But to be honest, I really hope that Pei Wei can win the World Footballer of the Year. Then our Chinese football is really at the top of the world." Wang Xiaomin said with fascination.

**************************************
On December [-]th, at the headquarters of "French Football" magazine in Paris, France, Pei Wei smiled and accepted the European Ballon d'Or trophy from the organizer, a golden football, this is the first time Pei Wei has won this award honor.

Pei Wei got a high score of 180 four points and was elected with an absolute advantage. The second place is Barcelona's Ronaldinho, who scored 150 six points-he was the first last year, which seems to indicate that Pei Wei has put Ronaldinho exceeded.

No.3 is Pei Wei's teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Ronaldinho is fifth.

One day later, among the "Best Players in the World" selected by the famous British football magazine "World Football", Pei Wei was also elected as the "Best Player in the World" with a high approval rate. The No.2 was Ronaldinho, but the No.3 was Zhu Jun, who became Ronaldinho's former teammate and Pei Wei's teammate in the national team, believes that Chinese fans contributed a lot in this voting.

Everyone is looking forward to the most important awards in world football two days before Christmas.

Organized by FIFA and voted by the head coaches of all the national teams under its jurisdiction, the "World Footballer" is undoubtedly the highest honor for a professional player.

Pei Wei is naturally the popular candidate. There is no doubt about it. In the past year, Pei Wei led the Inter Milan team to win all the championships they could get. At the same time, he personally set a record with 28 assists. The league assists record of 26 assists, the hat-trick of personal honors achieved in the Champions League, the top scorer, the assist king, the best player, and as a midfielder tied the dust-laden 45-year-old Champions League scoring record.

In terms of the national team, although the Chinese national team did not have any major competitions last year, as the captain, he led the Chinese Olympic team to win the gold medal in the 2008 BJ Olympic Men's Football Competition. From this point of view, he is proud of himself The award has added a lot of weight.

But people have a question. Often the "World Footballer" selected by FIFA is the opposite of the "European Ballon d'Or" selected by "French Football". The magazine was annoyed, but in any case, from the perspective of those who want to see Pei Wei become the World Footballer, it seems that this is not good for Pei Wei.

But on December 23, all speculations disappeared, and Pei Wei, who was expected by everyone, won the 2008 World Footballer of the Year with an absolute majority of votes. This is also the first time a Chinese has won this honor!
No.2 Ronaldinho, No.3 Ibrahimovic, the selection of the World Footballer and the ranking of the European Golden Globe Awards are exactly the same, which also proves that the results of this selection are definitely what everyone expects!
Although FIFA always opposes "French Football", they also occasionally coincide with "French Football", and the "World Footballer" selected at this time is often uncontroversial.

The AFC and the Chinese Football Association also came to join in the fun. The Asian Footballer and the Chinese Footballer were also elected by Pei Wei with an absolute advantage. Players who receive the trophy are automatically disqualified from the selection" idiotic rules to maintain their pitiful "authority". As a result, before Pei Wei said anything, Asian fans quit one after another, and the media of various countries also ridiculed in newspapers and magazines. In the end, even FIFA was alarmed: The world's best player last year, which our biggest football federation considers, is not the best in Asia?Is Asia bigger than the world?

Under pressure from all sides, the AFC had to revoke this regulation, and Pei Wei became the "Asian Footballer" of the year as a matter of course.

Throughout December, it almost became Pei Wei's stage alone. Five individual honors also pushed Pei Wei's reputation in the football world to a peak. Such a player who has won all the highest honors in a period of time is The truly well-deserved No.1 in world football.
