Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 459

Soon the players knew about Chen Wei's situation. In fact, when they knew that Chen Wei had a fractured collarbone, they already understood that Chen Wei would definitely not be able to return to the court for a long time-players knew a little bit Knowledge about fractures.

Chen Wei's injury cast a shadow over the team. This situation made the players unwilling to celebrate the fact that they had extended their lead in the standings to five points. However, something moved them during their stay in Shanghai. Al After learning of Chen Wei's injury, Bates actually went to the hospital to apologize to Chen Wei, although he did nothing wrong.

Taking this opportunity, Pei Wei explained to the players what is the morality of a professional player: "On the court, any means within the rules can be used, including delaying time, tactical fouls, etc. But there must be a degree. As a player, respecting your opponent is also respecting yourself. You can beat your opponent, but you can’t insult your opponent... You should learn from Mr. Alberts’ approach. Unexpected things on the court will inevitably lead to accidents. appear, but the difference between intentional and unintentional is enough to prove a player's professionalism!"

Alberts used his practical actions to teach Yunjia players a lesson, and at the same time won the respect of Yunjia players.

In the next half month, Yunjiatianyu continued to play two league games and one FA Cup match, but the results of these three games were not very good. Both games in the league were tied, while in the Football Association In the quarter-finals of the World Cup, Yunjiatianyu, who sent most of the substitutes, lost [-]-[-] to Shandong Hualong in the away game. It seems that it is difficult to go further.

In the league, they were first scored at home by Chongqing Huanyu's consistent defensive tactics - in this game, Yunjia Tianyu shot as many as [-] times, but most of the time in the opponent's impenetrable defense, only one point was scored. Can use long-range shots to test the opponent's goalkeeper - and the opponent's No. [-] Guofu Bing performed well and repeatedly blocked Yunjiatianyu's threatening shots. In addition, Yunjiatianyu's luck in this game is not very good. Deco Both very threatening long-range shots hit the goal post, and Chongqing Huanyu's quick counterattack also caused a lot of trouble for Yunjiatianyu's defense. Chu Ran still showed excellent reaction and judgment, but this also All he could do was keep the goal. After the referee's whistle sounded, Chongqing Huanyu left Yunjia in satisfaction.

After playing in Chongqing, Yunjiatianyu rushed to Shandong non-stop. After losing the FA Cup, they faced Shandong Hualong for the second time in a row—but this was a league game, and Yunjiatianyu had a very good start , Zheng Zhi scored his third goal in three games. This player who rarely got a chance in Yunjiatianyu used his performance to prove that he can also occupy a place in the national team, but the next game Zhongyun Jiatianyu’s attack failed to expand the score, but the opponent tied the score in the second half. The old captain Su Maozhen headed a free kick from Stoichkov into the goal (there was a mistake in the previous article, Su Maozhen from Shandong He did not retire this year, he only retired at the end of 02), Chu Ran was beyond his reach for this goal.

The result of the two consecutive games is that Shanghai and Dalian have caught up again. In these two games, Shanghai defeated Tianjin and Shaanxi in a row, while Dalian had one win and one loss. Shanghai narrowed the gap in points By one point, Dalian is only five points behind.

However, Yunjiatianyu was not affected by these two draws. After all, the opponents in these rounds are all strong teams, and in addition to running back and forth in the away game-home-away game, the players' physical fitness and state cannot be improved. Guaranteed, being able to score five points in these three games is already a good result, at least they still maintain a one-point advantage.

After finishing the Devil's schedule, Yunjiatianyu can finally breathe a sigh of relief. They beat Yunnan with two goals in the last game of the first round. Sun Bing and Ai Lin each scored a goal. In another game, Shanghai Shenhua's It was quite unlucky that they ran into an explosive Romario—in their away game against Liaoning, Romario, who was suspended by the club for two games, came back after being suspended, and he vented all his anger on the club When it came to Shanghai Shenhua—he performed a hat-trick and assisted Zhang Yulin to score a goal. Liaoning beat Shanghai [-]-[-], and Yun Jiatianyu, who had benefited from the game, once again expanded the point advantage to four points.

After losing this game, Shanghai Shenhua's situation suddenly became unfavorable. Behind them, Dalian Dongfang also caught up, and now they are only one point away from them.

In fact, this half of the season is probably the best season of Shanghai Shenhua in the past few years, but the two key defeats made them lose the chance of winning the half-time championship-if you say their luck is quite bad, for Yun Jia Tianyu had a chance to win, but Chu Ran abruptly turned the three points they had almost obtained into negative three points, and against Liaoning, they met Romario who played the best this season It was really a bit unlucky for a match.

On the contrary, Dalian Dongfang has caught up quietly behind. In Pei Wei's view, Dalian is Yunjiatianyu's strongest opponent this season. Although Shanghai Shenhua is strong, they always like to lose at critical moments. The chain, and Dalian's tenacity can keep them tenaciously catching up.

In the case of equal strength, any point of advantage may determine the final success, and Pei Wei firmly believes that the final champion of this season will be Yunjiatianyu, because they have the best head coach in the league Mourinho.

************************************************** ****
After half of the league, the World Youth Championship is about to start. The Chinese youth team that has arrived in Argentina is about to usher in their first match in the group stage. However, before the start of the match, the eyes of all Chinese fans are not Not in Argentina, but in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the headquarters of the AFC.

There is no other reason, just because of one thing - June 13, the day before the No.2002 World Youth Football Championship, the draw ceremony for the [-] World Cup qualifiers for the Asian Top Ten will be held on this day!
Saudi Arabia, Iran, Bahrain, Iraq, Thailand, China, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Oman, the top ten gathered together, waiting for the announcement of the final draw ceremony!

Maybe this kind of game is not very good in the world. These teams probably won’t attract too many fans from other continents. But for Asian fans, this is what they care about most every four years. The day is related to the circumstances under which the team they support will enter the World Cup!

The twelve fans' bars around Yunjia Fengyun Stadium were full of seats, and it was the first time that Yunjia fans packed these twelve bars on a night when there was no game!

Naturally, the "Milan Bar", which has almost become the exclusive bar of Yunjiatianyu Club, welcomes today's guests not fans, but the entire collection of Yunjiatianyu from the owner to the players!

In addition to Deco, even the two foreign players Weah and Grosso followed other players to this bar. Maybe they are not interested in the draw of the top ten, but they will not miss it. A chance for rapport.

Pei Wei and Su Mei also came, and Xiao Chuanchuan was handed over to Su Mei's mother to take care of them, so they could arrive smoothly.

Mourinho is also here, he was specially invited by Pei Wei.

Before eight o'clock, Yunjiatianyu had already arrived, waiting for the lottery ceremony to begin.

Xu Bian and Zhang Long of the Chinese Football Association have arrived in Kuala Lumpur five days ahead of schedule. A lottery like this is often not that simple. Whether a good lottery can be obtained often indicates how well a country's football association can handle affairs in the AFC. .

The draw of the top ten matches is also divided according to the grades, and the basis for the division is determined according to the FIFA rankings of each team. The Chinese national team has undoubtedly become the winner due to its outstanding performance in the Asian Cup. As the only team in West Asia that entered the semi-finals, Saudi Arabia was also classified as the first team.

The teams in the second tier are Iran and the United Arab Emirates, the teams in the third tier are Bahrain and Qatar, the teams in the fourth tier are Iraq and Uzbekistan, and the teams in the fifth tier are Oman and Thailand.

After the two teams of Japan and South Korea directly entered the World Cup finals, seven of the top ten teams came from West Asia, only China in East Asia, and Thailand in Southeast Asia, plus Uzbekistan in Central Asia. From the list, we can see why West Asian football has an advantage in the AFC—maybe only Saudi Arabia and Iran can compete with the top three in East Asia, but they have a large number of second-rate teams as the backbone!
Seeing that the lottery is about to start, the players are starting to get nervous. Of course, they hope that the Chinese team can draw a better lottery - there is hope, there will be pressure, and there will be tension!
Pei Wei was not too worried, he and Su Mei were sitting a little behind, talking softly, looking up at the TV screen from time to time.

Pei Wei's ease is justified, because he knows that the draw for the top ten matches is the best draw in the history of the Chinese team's World Cup—the four opponents in the group are far from the Chinese national team in terms of strength , not to mention the current national team.

The lottery began, and the two first-tier teams were first drawn. The Chinese team was in Group A, and Saudi Arabia was in Group B.

Pei Wei smiled, the draw was exactly as he remembered it, and he also remembered that the draw was a rare diplomatic success for the Chinese Football Association in the AFC—they successfully drew with the weaker second-tier team UAE Together, let Iran and Saudi Arabia fight in another group.

Soon, Pei Wei's smile froze on his face, and when the second team in Group A, the second-tier team, was selected by AFC Chairman Verapan, a clearly came out from his mouth. Words - "Iran!"

Iran!The Chinese team and Iran are in the same group!
Pei Wei opened his mouth wide, and the cigarette dangling from his mouth fell silently.

PS: I went to my wife’s natal house for dinner today, but I was forced to play poker in the afternoon—a huge defeat, losing more than 700 oceans.

Also, happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone.
