Chinese champion

Chapter 417 The Great Ideal at the Top of the World

After the winter break, the situation of Inter Milan did not get better. After the winter break, the injuries of the players have not improved significantly. Often this one is just right, and the other is injured again. Baggio can only Decide on tactics and lineups based on the situation of your players, instead of formulating tactics based on the situation of your opponents, so naturally you can't get the best results.

Win one game, lose one game, draw two games... With the lack of personnel, the team will naturally not have any good results. Inter Milan's pace in the league has slowed down, and their biggest competitor AC Milan But they began to pursue vigorously. After the end of February, they successfully left Inter Milan behind, leading Inter Milan, which was originally two points higher than them, by as much as five points. It seems that Inter Milan's second position is not guaranteed. Because Juventus in third place and Roma in fourth place are only one or two points behind them, and if you are not careful, you may slip to fourth place at any time. Fortunately, the gap between the top four and the teams behind is quite large, so the international Milan does not have to worry about not even being able to qualify for the Champions League next season.

During this period of time, Pei Wei's performance was not very good. After an almost perfect season, his state inevitably declined. There are peaks and low tides. Any player will There is such a situation, not to mention that even if his state fluctuates, his ability on the court is still world-class.

It seems that people's judgments before the start of the season were not wrong, it's just that Pei Wei delayed the arrival of his low tide a lot.

However, in the Champions League, Inter Milan's road was smooth sailing. Their opponent in the eighth final was PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Facing this relatively weak team, Inter Milan won easily. After a 1:1 draw with their opponents in the away game, they relied on two goals from Ibrahimovic and Pei Wei to eliminate their opponents when they returned home, and entered the Champions League quarterfinals for five consecutive years.

But after the draw ceremony to determine the opponents of the quarter-finals, the fans from the two Serie A teams, Inter Milan and AC Milan, were cursing their mothers: they are going to die, these two teams that are chasing each other in the league to the death are actually in the league. We met early in the quarter-finals!As for what the head coaches of the two sides thought, it is unknown. Anyway, when they walked out of the venue, Baggio and Rijkaard's expressions were not very good.

It’s okay to be unhappy, the game still has to be played. After entering April, with the return of most of the injured, Inter Milan can finally come up with a complete lineup to cope with the game. Baggio’s judgment is correct. As long as the main lineup is complete, Now this Inter Milan team is still the invincible Triple Crown last season.

In the first three league games in April, Inter Milan won consecutive victories and achieved a long-lost three-game winning streak. At the same time, in the two fierce competitions in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Inter Milan had the last laugh-they In the two rounds, they narrowly won with a total score of 4:3. It was indeed very dangerous. After winning 1:1 with the opponent in the away game, the situation of Inter Milan returning to the home court was not very good at the beginning. The game lasted to No. 80 minutes At that time, the score on the field was still 2:2. If the score was maintained until the end, the defending champion Inter Milan would be eliminated. At this time, Pei Wei, the core of Inter Milan's offense, was defeated by the opponent's team in a fight. Gattuso kicked his thigh and went off the field. Although Gattuso received a second yellow card for this action and was sent off, Inter Milan, lacking the core of attack, seemed unable to move an inch in front of the iron barrels discharged by the opponent. At the critical moment, they saved Inter Milan is a combination of three forwards in the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic forced a breakthrough, and before he fell to the ground, he still stubbornly stuffed the ball to Ronaldinho in the corner of the penalty area. A shot from a small area was blocked by Amelia. While all the Inter Milan fans were sighing, Zhuang Feng keenly found where the ball landed, and made a flying shovel to grab the ball in front of Nesta. Stabbed into the goal, Inter Milan survived!

However, in order to win this game, Inter Milan also paid a very heavy price: in the post-match inspection, it was found that Pei Wei had a thigh strain and would miss the game for a month. Several league games and possibly the Champions League semi-final second round and final, goalkeeper Cesar accumulated yellow cards and will miss the semi-final first round, Vieira was also sent off because of a dispute with Pirlo before the end of the game, Finally decided to suspend two games - the time of his comeback will be the final - if Inter Milan can enter the final.

**************************************
"How's the situation? Are you feeling better?" After the training that day, Zhuang Feng was entering the physiotherapy room to go for a massage to relax. He happened to bump into Pei Wei, and asked casually.

"It's almost there." Pei Wei said with a smile, "I don't see any bandages on my feet."

"Come back quickly, without you here, we've played hard enough in these few games, especially in that one, we lost a little breathless." Zhuang Feng said angrily.

Pei Wei knew which game Zhuang Feng was referring to. In the league, although Inter Milan lacked Pei Wei, they played well. They were not thrown off by AC Milan, who was completely focused on the league. The gap between the two sides It is still five points, but in the Champions League without three absolute main players, the situation of Inter Milan is not so good. In the first round of the semi-finals, they challenged Manchester United away. Although Inter Milan's offense is still so fierce, Manchester United's The performance of the main goalkeeper Wu Qi was even more brave. All the shots that hit the goal frame were blocked by him one by one. The crosses were all controlled by Wu Qi, who had an absolute advantage in height and a considerable attack range. The entire penalty area was almost covered by him. Wu Qi's long-range shots are also unambiguous, and his pair of giant palms are airtight. He has completely resolved the very high-quality long-range shots of Cambiasso and Mascherano. At the same time, Ferdinand in front of him Both Vidic and Vidic adhered to the principle of not taking the lead easily, and did not give Inter Milan any single-handed chance. After Milan's main goalkeeper Cesar was suspended, they could only use the old substitute goalkeeper Toldo to start. Toldo, who has rarely played since this season, did not perform badly, but Manchester United's offensive performance was better— —Add and Rooney each scored a goal, and Inter Milan lost 0:2 in the away game.

This means that Inter Milan wants to make a comeback. It must win at least three goals at home, and it must not be scored by the opponent. This is obviously more difficult.

"It's hard to say." Pei Wei thought for a while: "I can only resume training tomorrow, and the game will start the day after tomorrow. Who knows if the coach will let me play, and even if I play, it will be difficult to beat Manchester United by three goals. Ah, it's not like you don't know Wu Qi's level."

"I didn't know it at first, but now I know it." Zhuang Feng said depressedly. In that game, he didn't get many chances, but there were two absolute scoring chances in his opinion, but they were both missed by Wu Qi. Miraculously saved, one shot was thrown by Wu Qi and still flew towards the goal. Just when Zhuang Feng was about to cheer, Wu Qi's quick second reaction startled him—it almost hit the ground Immediately, he turned over and got up, then turned around and stretched out his long hand, holding the rolling ball on the goal line.

"Don't be discouraged." Pei Wei turned to comfort Zhuang Feng: "Maybe it happened that he played well in that game. Although his level is high, he is not that good. If he has that game in every game If he plays well, then he is not a level higher than all the goalkeepers in the world now? Then we are still a fool. Let's see, he will not be in good form in this game. Let's see how we beat Manchester United sieve!"

"It's you who are talking, but it's you who are talking, it's just a mouth." Zhuang Feng laughed and cursed: "By the way, wait for me, I will hand over my car to Ke'er to pick An Lei to the hospital I checked again, and I'll take your car back later."

"Okay." Pei Wei nodded: "By the way, Wu Qi called me just now and asked me to pick him up at the airport. Let's get together. I haven't talked to him for a long time."

"Damn, I was not allowed to score in the game and asked me to pick him up? Pick me up." Zhuang Feng said angrily.

That is to say, but after the massage, Zhuang Feng obediently got into Pei Wei's second-hand Mercedes-Benz, and after meeting Wu Qi at the airport, he even shook hands and greeted him as affectionately as a family. Pei Wei secretly despised this guy in his heart.

"I heard that you got a new Toyota last year? Why do you still drive this second-hand Mercedes-Benz?" Wu Qi asked in surprise as he came to Pei Wei's car and looked at the increasingly dilapidated Mercedes-Benz.

"That car? I didn't own it, so it was auctioned on the spot. The money from the auction went to my football schools. It's worth using Japanese money to develop our Chinese football business."

Pei Wei said with a smile, and Wu Qi was also amused: "Damn, you really have the potential to be a profiteer, how much did you pay?"

"Uncle Liu hosted it, do you think it can be less?" Zhuang Feng continued: "I don't know the exact figure, but I guess it must be at least double the original price. Anyway, the Japanese have a lot of stupid money. That fool is happy Almost fainted, Pei Wei made an extra-large autograph on the car, so it would be more face-saving for him to drive out."

Wu Qi laughed so hard that he almost fainted: "Damn, why do you need so much money? I heard that you have earned [-] million in the past two years alone. How can you be greedy? This is not like you."

Wu Qi is telling the truth. Based on what he knows about Pei Wei, his life other than football is actually very simple. In his spare time, he plays PS in addition to surfing the Internet. He is not too particular about food and drink. His monthly expenses do not exceed [-] Euros, Marco is not a master of spending money recklessly, with his current wealth, it will be more than enough for ten lifetimes.

"Do you know how many football schools I have opened?" Pei Wei asked.

"Aren't there three? We have one in Hubei, one in Dalian, and one in Guangzhou, right?" Wu Qi is quite clear about this.

"There are two more." Pei Wei shook his head: "One is in Inner Mongolia, and the other is in XJ. These two places are football desert areas, but there are not many children with good physical fitness, and there are also children from ethnic minorities. I can afford it, I don’t know if I don’t open it, this football school is really a bottomless pit, and I’m not aiming at profit, after investigation, it’s true that children from poor families are all enrolled for free, and I have to subsidize living expenses, even if the conditions The little tuition paid by a good family is probably only enough to guarantee the bottom line. The jerseys, venues, teachers’ salaries, and the maintenance of the football field all require money. Sometimes the team is pulled out to play games, and the money is spent. It’s time to go to the sea, how can I not be greedy? Besides, I want to open a few more. Let’s start with one in each provincial capital city. Then, when you retire, you will all go to the school to be the principal. I pay wages."

"You don't need such a big budget, do you?" Wu Qi was taken aback: "If you play like you, you don't have enough money to invest in it! Just kidding, in addition to the country, it is the kind of big consortium that builds football schools like this. Supporting clubs, how long can you play with them alone?"

"Isn't this just the beginning? Besides, as long as there are a few good seedlings, they can receive a lot of transfer fees just to let them play in the Super League clubs. One out of ten children will become a talent. It's just now It’s just that I’m nervous, and I’m going to open more and more in the future. It’s best to have such a football school in every big city in the country. In that case, based on the population base of our country, even if it’s only [-]% The number of children with potential is so terrifying! By then, I will not believe it, isn’t our Chinese football the number one in the world?” Pei Wei said confidently.

"Damn, why didn't I know you had such big ambitions before?" Wu Qi looked at Pei Wei as if he didn't know him: "But... hehe, it's exciting to think about it. If there is such a day, I am afraid that Chinese football will be There will be no 'golden generation' anymore, any group of players is a golden generation!"

"You, me, and Zhu Jun all came out of the football school." Pei Wei pondered for a while: "Especially you, Wu Qi, if you didn't have the tuition-free quota back then, would you have continued to play football? I guess you have gone home to farm a long time ago, so how can there be today’s Manchester United goalkeeper? You are very lucky, but I think there must be many people who have potential like us but have not had the opportunity to develop them. What we have to do is to make these people no longer have any regrets."

Speaking of this, Pei Wei smiled again: "How is it? My ideal is great, right? Are you moved?"

"Damn, you shameless!" Wu Qi scolded.
