Chinese champion

Chapter 74 The First Goal
In the next few days, Pei Wei and his teammates began to get acquainted. People like Eto'o and Ibagaza had no airs, and they quickly became good friends with him.

The club arranged an apartment for him, which happened to be with Eto'o's apartment. Pei Wei, who had just arrived, did not have a driver's license, and of course he did not have his own car, so he used Eto'o's car every day. Go to the training ground.

Soon, the European competitions of the 01-02 season will start. The first game of the Mallorca team this season is to participate in the qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.

Pei Wei did not go to Hungary with the team. In Aragones' view, a team like Urbisdi does not need the team's full strength to deal with it. A half-main and half-substitute lineup is definitely enough.

Not only him, but even Eto'o, Ibagaza and captain Nadal stayed in Spain to rest.

After learning that his name was not on the list, Pei Wei was a little depressed. Although he knew that his opponent was not strong, it still made him a little uncomfortable not being able to play.

"Pei! How do you pull it?" Eto'o came over and asked concerned, looking at Pei Wei who was sullen on the training ground.

He has always admired this Chinese boy who is younger than himself. In his opinion, with Pei Wei behind him, he will score many more goals.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little bored without a game!" Pei Wei replied.

Eto'o smiled. He is only two years older than Pei Wei, but he came to the first team of La Liga giant Real Madrid at the age of 17. He is already an old man on the field in the second half of the night, but in the star-studded Real Madrid team He didn't have any chance to play, and he was hesitant and distressed about it, so after Mallorca contacted him, he came here without hesitation, just for a main position, so he understands Pei Wei's mood very well , because he also felt this feeling deeply: "You know what? There are four people staying in Spain this time, two of whom are the main players of last season, and the two newcomers of us."

Pei Wei looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he meant by that.

Eto'o went on to say: "That is to say, the old man wants to make us not too tired, and does not want us to be exposed to others too early, so that others are familiar with our style of play, so we are in his hands. 'secret weapon'!"

Pei Wei was amused by him and laughed, and felt relieved.

That's right, I should set my sights a little wider. What is it if I don't participate in this kind of tasteless competition?

Sure enough, 3:0, Mallorca retreated from Hungary, and this score almost determines that Mallorca will enter the next round smoothly.

Gonzalez's performance is very good, one goal and one assist, it seems that Pei Wei's arrival has stimulated him, which also makes Aragones very happy, because only good competition can make the team's performance go up, two The competition of players can often boost the morale of the rest of the team, all he has to do is to make the players not hate each other.

In the second round of the match a week later, in order to adjust the lineup, Aragones played both Pei Wei and Eto'o. Amidst the cheers of more than 1 home spectators, Mallorca won again at home. The score of 4:0 made the audience hooked. Although Pei Wei did not score a goal, he had two assists. Two forwards Eto'o and Luke each scored two goals. Mallorca qualified 7:0 in two rounds .

2001-2002赛季的西班牙足球甲级联赛是从8月26日正式开始，在这之前中国队有一场亚洲区十强赛的比赛，是25日在沈阳的五里河体育场主场迎战第一个对手阿联酋队。

In the national football list reported by the Football Association, there are no names of the seven national youth players in Europe. Facing the media’s questioning, the news releaser of the Football Association explained that they had just gained a firm foothold in their respective teams. The position in the club so they were not called up to the national team.

This explanation moved the fans and the media very much, and there was a trace of doubt in the move. When did the Football Association become so reasonable?You must know that even in the group stage held in the first half of the year, the national team still recalled four international players in Europe against three teams, and this time, none of the four international players in Europe was left. Come back, is there no problem with their club's future?
Fang Yatao and Mickey knew it well, but at this critical moment, they didn't want to cause trouble, because after all, this was a good opportunity to enter the World Cup, and under this premise, other things had to be put aside.

It's all about the World Cup.

Under the guidance of Mickey, the Chinese national team was in full swing in the first top ten match, beheading the United Arab Emirates 3-0 cleanly, which also made a good start for this top ten match.

Pei Wei, who was far away in Spain, watched the game on TV. While he was happy for the Chinese team, he also felt a little worried. With the national team performing so well, it would be even more difficult for him to enter the national team up.

After all, in his young heart, the honor of participating in the national team is unmatched by other things.

He turned off the TV, there is still a game tomorrow, this will be his first professional league game, so he must perform well!

Aragones put Pei Wei on the bench, and Gonzalez still played the main attacking midfielder.

"Damn, what's going on, Pei Wei is actually a substitute? Didn't I come here for nothing?"

Sitting in the auditorium, Xiao Jun cursed in his heart. He accepted the commission from the newspaper and became the special correspondent of Sports Weekly in Spain. His task was to describe Pei Wei's performance in Spain and send it back to China. .

But Pei Wei is actually sitting on the bench. Could it be that the Golden Globe winner of the World Youth Championship will not be able to play in such a medium-sized club?

"But..." Xiao Jun thought in his heart: "If the Mallorca team does not perform well...for example, one goal behind...hehe, then Pei Wei will play!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly laughed, and suddenly he covered his mouth. If the Mallorca fans next to him heard what he just said, he couldn't guarantee that he could walk out of the stadium safely.

"Alas..." A sigh rolled over the court like thunder, and the face of the old coach Aragones on the sidelines was as gloomy as a rainy autumn!
The Mallorca team at home did not give full play to their advantages. The midfielder was firmly controlled by the opponent. They were unable to attack for a long time, but they were defeated by the opponent's Lago in the 42nd minute of the game.

Gonzalez played a bit impatiently, and had a few chances to pass but chose to pass by himself, causing Eto'o and Luke in the frontcourt to shake their heads again and again.

Luke and Eto'o's The twitch created a chance for him, and his iconic long shot was narrowly saved by the opposing goalkeeper.

Pei Wei's playing brought the Mallorca team's midfield to life. Although the opponent's two midfielders were eyeing him after several successful breakthroughs, his organization in the center made Ibagaza and Campa on the wing Nuo came alive, frequently threatening the opponent's goal from both wings.

Finally, at 7 minutes, captain Nadal steals the ball in the backcourt, and then sends the ball to Pei Wei in time. Pei Wei seizes the moment when the opponent turns from offense to defense, and passes it out without hesitation. With a 30-meter long pass over the top, Eto'o, who was as agile as a leopard, inserted at high speed. He easily stopped the ball and at the same time opened the opponent's defense by four or five meters. With a beautiful push by the goalkeeper, Mallorca got back a point!
The Mallorca team, which had recovered one point, gained momentum and besieged the opponent for more than ten minutes in a row. Finally, after 10 minutes, Ibagaza broke through the opponent's beautiful cross from the left. He jumped up and headed the ball into the dead corner of the goal!
The fans who had been silent just now erupted into enthusiastic cheers. The home team finally showed their power!

The Mallorca team didn't want the opponent to get a point. Now that their momentum was at its peak, they continued to launch wave after wave of attacks, overwhelming the opponent until they couldn't even breathe.

3 minutes, just 3 minutes later, the cheers above the San Moix Stadium reached a peak!

The sensational shout of the live commentator aroused the resonance of the audience, although they could not clearly understand They read Pei Wei's name clearly, but they still shouted in jerky words: "Pei! Pei! Pei!"

Gonzalez looked at his teammates in a daze. He didn't expect Pei Wei to conquer the fans' hearts so quickly. He also knew very well that he might only be Pei Wei's substitute in the team in the future. survive in...

Xiao Jun also yelled loudly among the fans. He was very happy, not only because of Pei Wei's performance, but because Pei Wei performed so well in less than half time, he had something to write about.

He even thought of the title: "Big Reversal! Made by Pei Wei!"

Everything looks so perfect, Pei Wei's first La Liga, one assist and one goal, the team completed the reversal at 0:2, the Mallorca team also had the advantage on the field, just wait Just wait until the referee blows the whistle to end the game...

Under such circumstances, Mallorca's players lost the calmness they should have as a professional player. They forgot that they cannot give up until the end of the game.

So they got punished.

No.809 minutes, the midfielder Marcos made a careless cross in the backcourt and was cut off by the opponent's front midfielder. foot shot...

The noise in the stadium stopped abruptly, and only the cheers of the more than 1000 fans of the visiting team remained in the entire stadium!

Aragones threw the water bottle in his hand vigorously, and the three points he got were gone again!
competition is over!Mallorca, who played at home, was tied by the opponent at the last moment, and failed to get off to a good start in the first game of the new season.

At the post-match press conference, Aragones, who had a bad face, severely criticized his players. He didn't smile until Xiao Jun asked him to comment on Pei Wei's performance.

"I think he will be a key figure in our team. His performance today has shown his strength. I think our loan of him will be one of our biggest gains in the transfer market this summer."
