Fame with a ball

After Juventus knocked Real Madrid out of the Champions League, the Cosmos kicked the Blues out.

The two teams that will compete for the Big Ears Cup at the Stadium of Light in Benfica, Portugal on May 5 are old friends Barcelona and Juventus who met in the group stage last season.

Another cycle of fate.

Real Madrid and Chelsea, who were also eliminated miserably, are of course not happy, but Real Madrid must be more disappointed.Because the venue for this year's Champions League final is Portugal, Real Madrid's core players Ronaldo, Pepe, Carvalho, and coach Mourinho are all national treasures in Portuguese football. If Real Madrid can break into the final, they will They can definitely turn the Stadium of Light on the night of the Champions League final into their stadium and let all the Portuguese cheer for the Galacticos.It's just a pity that this beautiful dream was shattered after all.

Lin Zhigao has been pulling his hair crazily recently because of a lot of unexpected situations in his life.

The first is from within the country.

Juventus has entered the finals 7 times in the history of the Champions League. The most glorious time was in the three seasons of 95-96, 96-97, and 97-98. They entered the finals for three consecutive years. Now, this century-old giant is very likely Standing on the top of Europe again, in other words, after becoming the first Chinese to participate in the Champions League final in history, Lin Zhigao is also very likely to become the first Chinese to win the Big Ears Cup. The excitement of the whole of China is no less than that when the Chinese national team broke into the World Cup group stage again at the end of last year.

The three major football events in the world today are the World Cup, European Cup and European Champions Cup.In all fairness, the World Cup is considered the most influential football event, with an unparalleled sense of national honor and cohesion, but it may not be the highest level of competition. If it depends on the level of competition, it is also the European Champions Cup-the Champions Cup gathers all the players in the world. The best head coaches, the top players, and the extravagant investment of major clubs, the length and intensity of team training between players of each team is also unmatched by national teams.

The European Cup has nothing to do with the Chinese team. For the World Cup, although there is Lin Zhigao, Chinese fans never dare to hope that he can lead the group of old and disabled players in the national team. God Cup, this kind of thing feels like a daydream just thinking about it.Therefore, a point of view recognized by the majority of Chinese fans is: the European Champions Cup championship is likely to be the highest honor that Lin Zhigao can obtain in his career.

As a Chinese fan, how can you not support your compatriots?Rich people have already bought air tickets and tickets and booked hotels, and plan to take a one-day trip to the Stadium of Light on the night of the Champions League final; When traveling in Europe, you should at least go to Turin and visit the Juventus stadium; as for the fans who are cash-strapped, they also have their own way to support Lin Zhigao: prepare tickets for Coke and beer, as long as they arrive Juventus game day we wake up at 3 am on time, so what if we have money?Only those who can do this are true die-hard fans!

Jiang Shupeng is recently helping Lin Zhigao negotiate several new contracts. Many of the applications come from well-known domestic travel agencies, such as China National Travel Service, CYTS, Comfort, Spring and Autumn, etc. Gradually opened up a brand-new tourist route: European countries can freely choose a "Turin-Juventus" tour route. This was originally just an early adopter move by travel agencies, but the registration situation is very popular. Almost everyone who goes to Europe Tour groups passing through Italy collectively bought this route, which made major travel agencies think about expanding the project.

Many tourists who bought this special line tour complained that "the time to visit Juventus is too little", "It would be great if I could watch a Juventus game in Nuevo Alpe", "If I could see the training session Lin Zhigao, that would be great!" "I really want Lin Zhigao's signature"—foreseeing that this project should be very profitable, the major travel agencies want to cooperate with Juventus, and discuss to let them open every week A training ground allows tourists to see what Juventus's daily training is like. In return, major travel agencies give Juventus dividends.

Marotta, the general manager of the club, quickly agreed to the proposal of the Chinese travel agencies, because he calculated the income after the opening of the training ground, and found that the pink of the travel agencies and the increased profits from the sales of peripheral products in the store in the New Alpi Stadium, every year It can earn another 300 million euros for the team. Although these prices cannot buy half of the big-name stars, it is enough for Juventus to buy a few more powerful substitute players from some small teams.

Lin Zhigao is the top priority of the strategy of the major travel agencies. If they can sign Lin Zhigao as the spokesperson, as long as Lin Zhigao agrees to appear in front of the tourists when the travel agency has a group to visit Juventus (even for a few days) once a month), "it is possible to have face-to-face contact with Lin Zhigao when you sign up for a tour!" This gimmick will definitely grab customers from other travel agencies!

The price offered by each travel agency is very generous, but after a few days of consideration, Lin Zhigao still rejected the matter - he would not feel annoyed or disturbed if his compatriots came to the stadium to watch their training, if he was in a good mood at that time It is also possible to go over and take photos with those compatriots to sign, but if it becomes an obligation to write these into the contract, wouldn't he become a giant panda who wants to come out regularly to show off?

Chinese fans copied the UEFA Champions League very hotly, second only to the popularity in Italy. Even Lin Zhigao’s grandfather, who usually only went to the old cadre activity center, knew that his grandson’s team was “going to Portugal to compete with other teams in Europe.” Champion!", Lin Changan and his wife didn't know who was fooled, but they still felt that "at the important moment of Gao Gao's life, we as parents should be by his side!", the couple asked for leave together, Without notifying Lin Zhigao in advance, he came to Turin suddenly!

It is conceivable that when Lin Zhigao returned home after training, he saw his parents and John sitting in the living room with a reserved look, how wonderful his expression would be!

……

Thank you for the delay of Alitalia, which made Lin Changan and his wife, who have been tossing for almost a day and a night since the departure, extremely exhausted. Almost as soon as Lin Zhigao entered the door, they yawned and said, "Gao Gao, you are finally back, my parents." I can hardly keep my eyes open, let's go to the guest room to sleep for a while."

Lin Zhigao's eyes met John's for a moment, and after realizing what the eyes wanted to convey, he nodded imperceptibly, and while helping his parents carry the luggage, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Dad , Mom, John's house is being redecorated, so he's staying with me for a few days."

Lin Changan and his wife did not have the key to his house, so the scene just now must have been that the couple came to knock on the door directly, but it was John who opened the door, and Lin Zhigao was not at home... What kind of friend would hold someone else's house? The key to the house, and enter the house when the owner is away?Of course it's...a borrowed friend.What's more, it is unwise to let John leave now, more than half of the clothes in the cloakroom of Lin Zhigao's villa belong to this uncle!It is extremely difficult to completely wipe out the breath of John's life in this house.

Fortunately, Lin Changan and his wife, who were exhausted to death, didn't have any suspicions (or they did, but Lin Zhigao didn't see it), Qian Hongyan yawned again, rubbed her eyes and said, "Your friend is quite kind." Polite, despite the language barrier, he still helped us make tea and find snacks, and even sat with us for so long."

Lin Zhigao forced a smile, helped his parents tidy up the guest room and watched them go to bed, then returned to the living room.John is sitting in the restaurant drinking coffee slowly.

"My parents didn't go to our bedroom, did they?" After seeing the other party nodding, Lin Zhigao heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "How did you hold them back?"

Rubbing his chin with his fingers, John said, "Actually, we've been communicating."

"Communication?" Lin Zhigao was very curious. Since John could only say "Hello, have you eaten?" at the level of Mandarin, how did he communicate with his parents at the level of "Hello, nice to meet you"?

"With the eyes," John muttered. "I think your mother once expressed that the cookies I baked were delicious."

Why does Lin Zhigao think that the two of them are more likely to be thinking about it.

John raised his wrist and looked at the time: "While your parents are resting, let's go do something big."

Lin Zhigao's eyes flashed, and his face immediately flushed, and a feeling of anxiety and excitement surged in his heart.

John stood up and walked to the bedroom. Lin Zhigao hurriedly followed him. Before entering the house, he also turned off the lights in the corridor from the second floor to the first floor. In this way, as long as his parents go downstairs, they will turn on the lights again. Open, he will immediately feel the movement.

Laughing and closing the bedroom door, Lin Zhigao stretched his shoulders and threw himself at John while thinking of "quick fight".

He suddenly encountered an obstacle in the middle of the jump, and Lin Zhigao's entire face was buried in a large wave of clothes that suddenly hit him. He quickly hugged the pile of things that were about to fall to the ground, and got his head out of the clothes. Aggrieved and dissatisfied, he said: "If you don't like it, you won't like it. Is it worth throwing something at me?"

John took out several suits from the closet, gave Lin Zhigao a sideways glance, and asked, "What did you say?" He opened the bedroom door and walked out.

Lin Zhigao hurriedly followed: "What do you mean by making a big vote?"

"Transport my things from your bedroom to the guest room." John said slightly distressed: "Be gentle with your hands and feet, we have to carry them back and forth several times."

So it was referring to this... Lin Zhigao shrugged and pulled his shoulders, his blood was in vain immediately.

……

The more grand and glorious a game is, the more it can arouse the hostility of the competing teams against the opponent-the European Champions Cup, the highest honor that a European club can obtain, can undoubtedly become a very strong catalyst, making the contenders become stronger. Become an enemy who is jealous when he sees the other party.

After the match against Real Madrid, many media hyped up the news of "friends turned against each other for the match" for fear of chaos. In the photo, although both of them clarified this after the game, some people still commented on their own: "No matter how strong a friendship is, under the instigation of interests, it will definitely fall apart!" Then they began to cite countless clubs. Good teammates, because they represent their countries in intercontinental competitions and have disagreements or even enmity. For example, the "Portuguese Department" and "Spanish Department" in the Real Madrid team.

These disgusting remarks are often buzzing in the newspapers like flies, paving the way for the gunpowder war between the Spanish and Italian media. The closer to the Champions League final, the more hostility between the fans of the two teams. The more serious it is, and it gradually spreads from the paper media to the online media - the Twitters of the players of Barcelona and Juventus are brutally swiped by the opponent's fans, and the players of the two teams lie down at least dozens of times a day.

At this moment, the news broke suddenly: Messi and Lin Zhigao have become popular because of the Champions League final!They had a fight!Disagreement!Turned back!

The person who broke the news is said to be an anonymous player of Barcelona’s first team. He personally admitted to the reporter: “Messi now uses his mobile phone to scan Twitter every day during training intervals. He worked harder, almost to the point of desperation. I think he must be mustering his breath and preparing to take revenge on someone. You all know that he has often received some bad comments on twitter recently. Those words are considered a saint. I will be angry when I see it, as for whose fans made these comments? I don’t think I need to say, you all know..."

However, the reality is that:

87 people swear at me today. - Messi.

I have 113, ha, I'm better at attracting hate than you! --Forest.

What's the matter, it means that you are not as likable as me. - Messi.

Hey, don't try to change the subject.Our agreement is that whoever gets scolded less will give himself an 'extra meal' during training, and follow the other party's settings...Let me think about it, tomorrow you will add 20 sets of leapfrogs to yourself , I have to learn how to call a frog while jumping, remember to call like a bit, I have an internal supervisor to supervise you. --Forest.

Who the hell is your spy? ! ! ! - Messi.

I won’t tell you~ I won’t tell you~——Lin.

Shit, a new message, your fans "love briquettes" commented that I said "the little boy of the motherfucker"! ! ?This is the greatest insult to my manliness! ! ! --Forest.

Oh save it, you still have fans calling me 'nose almost takes up half of my face! 'This is simply a personal attack! - Messi.

I was angry, very angry.So, 30 sets of leapfrogs. --Forest.

You... despicable! ! ! - Messi.

……

Juventus qualified for the Champions League final and the Coppa Italia final respectively during this month, and there are still three rounds of Serie A to be played. After entering May, the schedule is so dense that it is almost impossible to breathe.

On May 5, the 10th round of the Serie A match between Juventus and Chievo started at the New Alpi Stadium.

The Bianconeri are playing at home, and the opponents are not strong, so Capello made a rotation in this game. He put on the bench players who rarely have the chance to play, and half of the main players were left in the stands. Rest, including Lin Zhigao.

The game went very smoothly at the beginning. Juventus, half of the main force and half of the substitutes, firmly controlled the rhythm of the game and pressed Chievo to death. At the end of the first half, Vucinic scored a goal. The score was rewritten to 1:0.

During the half-time break, Capello considered whether to replace Vucinic for a rest. The other players were chatting comfortably, and in the stands of the stadium, many fans had already raised their hands. Good tagline: "Celebrating Juventus winning the league two rounds ahead of schedule!"

In the current Serie A standings, the points gap between Juventus and AC Milan is 7 points. If they win this game, the gap will be expanded to 10 points-if Milan also wins this round of the league, the gap between Continue to maintain at 7 points. With only two league rounds left, the goal difference between Milan and Juventus is also a full 10 points. This is an undisputed victory ahead of schedule!

But after the start of the second half of the game, the scene that shocked countless glasses appeared!

Chievo evened the score in the 5th minute of the second half!

And the secret of their successful goal is not any opportunistic reasons such as taking advantage of the loopholes in Juventus' defense, but that they launched a mad attack on Juventus' defense from the beginning of the second half, hitting Juventus on the field. The players were caught off guard, and the Chievo players scored the ball by virtue of their strength!

It's just astounding, it's incredible!A small Serie A team that has been relegated every year and often suffers relegation has successfully overturned the Serie A overlord at Juventus' home court!

Everyone did not expect this scene, including Capello himself was quite surprised-Chievo is currently ranked 14th in the league standings, and there is a gap of more than ten points between the last three teams in the relegation zone. There shouldn't be the possibility of a small universe suddenly breaking out because of fear of relegation, and it is precisely because he thought that the game would be tepid that Capello would send half of the substitutes, and now, the accident actually happened up!

Chievo's head coach seemed to have won the game, waving his arms wildly on the sidelines, with an excited expression on his face-it's no wonder he was so excited, because this is the first time Chievo has won in two seasons. One goal against Juventus, and it's still in Neue Alp!

Because of this goal, the morale of the Chievo players suddenly increased. They pressed forward and continued to attack the Juventus goal.This was the best time for Juventus to counterattack, because Chievo's defense was empty after the players moved forward as a whole. As long as there is one person in the Juventus team to organize the attack at this moment, it will definitely change the score again.

But it is a pity that another 10 minutes passed in the second half of the game, and the score on the court remained unchanged.

"It's time to put Lin on the field." The Italian commentator said: "Obviously, the Juventus players on the field are not lacking in strength. People who can gather morale and knead into a ball to launch a sharp attack, without a core, they seem to be unorganized and unplanned in both offense and defense, and they are quite sloppy. This is why from the second half of the game until now, it is actually Chievo who is in control. The rhythm of the game."

Yes, in the second half of the game, Serie A overlord Juventus was firmly held back by the small team Chievo at home!Even if Chievo failed to score again, it was enough to make the fans angry!

The fans kept making noise towards the coach bench, they tried to remind Capello: It's time to put Lin on the field!

But Capello outside the field did not move. No, he did take action, but the iron-blooded coach did not change.He stood on the sidelines and kept directing the players, often changing formations, attacking or retreating, and he made a lot of changes, but he didn't achieve any results within 20 minutes.

Seeing that the situation of the game did not improve, the fans became even more noisy and anxious, especially those fans who had already prepared to celebrate ahead of time, shouting at the top of their voices: "We need Lin! We want the championship!"

"We need Lin! We want champions!"

"We need Lin! We want champions!"

The other Juventus main players who were sitting and chatting on the bench were also attracted by this movement. They stood up and looked towards the field, paying attention to the game.

Lin Zhigao looked at the game for a while, and looked at Capello on the sidelines for a while. He wondered if it was possible for him to play today.

Capello finally answered him with practical actions...no.

Before the end of the 90-minute race, Capello made a total of 3 substitutions, without Lin Zhigao's share.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game and the scoreboard marked "1:1", there were boos in the Nuevo Alpi Stadium, strong boos, loud boos, and the fans booed The goal is - Capello.

Some angry fans threw the slogan "Juventus, win the championship two rounds ahead!" from the stands, aiming at the team coach. The fastest and most effective substitution, such as Lin Zhigao, will definitely have an immediate effect-but Capello did not, so he is the culprit for Juventus' inability to win the championship two rounds in advance!

Capello, who was booed by the fans, didn't react at all. He stood beside the coach's bench expressionlessly, letting countless angry fans' throwing objects fall into the covering net above his head, without looking up.

And Lin Zhigao, who has not actually participated in it, but has also become the center of the whirlpool, felt extremely complicated when he saw this scene.He didn't feel gloating at all, on the contrary, he was a bit sad: Fans...

When the game was a few minutes away, Liu Jianhong interpreted Capello's behavior to the fans in front of the TV: "This round of the league is over, the iron-blooded coach will probably bear some infamy, because when he directs the game Not using the most immediate substitutions prevented Juventus from winning the title two rounds ahead of schedule."

"But Juventus will definitely be able to defend the league title in the end, I have no doubts about it."

"Maybe someone will ask me now, 'AC Milan has just won the game, and the gap between them and Juventus has narrowed to 5 points. If Juventus loses the remaining two games and Milan wins, then the championship is not enough. Is it Milan?’ If you want to imagine it this way, AC Milan will undoubtedly be the final champion of the league, but don’t the fans who have this idea think that they are taking it for granted? Juventus’ opponent in the remaining two rounds of the league is Pescara and Lecce, and AC Milan’s opponents in the remaining two league games are Naples and Roma, which team has a better chance of winning, I don’t think I need to say more?”

"If you keep one game unbeaten, Juventus must be the league champion this season. Just look for an unbeaten game against Pescara and Lecce, the two newly promoted polo teams!"

"Capello definitely understands this clearly. He knows that his team will definitely win the league championship. Under the premise that the league championship will not be lost, Capello still gave up the chance to win the league championship two rounds in advance. Why did he Do you want to do this? What is more important than winning the championship early? I think Capello's move must be quite meaningful."

"For example, at the end of the season, reveal a cruel fact to the fans-when a team can only rely on one star to win, and it can't do without him, is this a good thing or a bad thing for the team? ?”
