Fame with a ball

In the Coppa Italia final, Juventus won a little easier than expected.

Perhaps it is because Capello is worried about the pride and underestimation of the enemy in the Juventus team these days, so he talked about their "slack? Complacent? Do you still want to challenge the six crowns?!" Such spur words are too much, Juventus From the very beginning, Tus put on an offensive momentum, and within 6 minutes of the opening, Lin Zhigao's strong long-range shot blasted away the goal of the Roma team.

Roma coach Zeman was extremely frustrated. He originally thought that Juventus, which has been doing well recently, would be arrogant and underestimate the enemy when facing them, because basically even a team that has won two heavyweight champions will have their players quickly. Inflate your ego, and despise your opponent because of your happiness and excitement!

Before the final, a large part of the tactics Zeman designed for the team was even aimed at a surprise attack, which was to take advantage of the impetuous emotions of the Juventus players to catch them off guard... But, but this game just started, it was them It was restrained by the opponent!It really made him feel ashamed!

But what makes Zeman more worried is not the face problem, but-whether the Roman team can win this game or not?

The cruel reality quickly warned Zeman - the score that was constantly stretched in the first half meant that the Roma team missed the Coppa Italia champion this season.

In the 23rd minute, Vucinic made a strong long-range shot from the right side of the penalty area in Rome. The football hit the post and was bounced back. Just when the fans in Rome were relieved, Lin Zhigao suddenly appeared near the penalty spot with a head shot The ball was shot successfully!Juventus leads Roma by 2 points.

In the 31st minute, Roma striker Totti received a pass from his teammate and tried a long shot from a dozen meters outside the penalty area.

Five minutes before the intermission, Marchisio made a cross from the right, and then Pepe gave the ball to the unguarded Verratti.

Verratti dribbled the ball forward, and after a wonderful two-for-one cooperation with Lin Zhigao, he passed the ball through from the top of the arc in the penalty area. In the blind corner, Roma goalkeeper Stekelenburg didn't even touch the edge of the football.

So far, the Juventus victory has been set.

The Juventus players clapped their hands to celebrate the team's lead, while the fans in the stands chanted: "Quadruple! Quadruple! Quadruple!"

Fans expect Juventus to defeat Roma and dedicate their fourth championship trophy since last season.The first three championship trophies are the Italian Super Cup at the beginning of the season, the fresh and hot Serie A champion and the Champions League champion just won.

But Capello will not tell them that he intends to challenge Barcelona's record of six crowns!But after all, this season is not over yet. Many ambitions in his heart need the cooperation of the club to act (such as buying his favorite players during the transfer period, selling players he thinks are redundant, etc.), maybe wait until this summer After the club has finalized many deals, he will disclose the news to the media.

It will definitely cause a sensation in European football by then!Just imagining that scene, Iron-Blooded coach feels very proud, he can't wait to see that scene-most of the gold medal coaches in the world football have a bit of a temper. For Mourinho's madness, Capello's "madness" is deeply hidden in his heart. He likes to watch others be in a mess... This kind of psychology is called Mensao.

After the intermission, Juventus continued their aggressive momentum in the second half of the game, which annoyed Roma coach Zeman. He thought that Juventus was deliberately pinching Roma as a soft persimmon!Otherwise, you have already locked the victory, why are you still biting my Roma team?If it weren't for the fourth official blocking in the middle, Zeman would have pointed at Capello's nose and cursed: Do you want to give us a 5:0 here? !dream!

Zeman was angry, and the Roma players who had already resigned to their fate were also aroused some anger in their hearts, especially the core of Roma, the red wolf Totti. Minutes back for Rome.

Totti first swung the ball past Cáceres with his back, and then volleyed directly in front of the goal. The football lightly brushed Buffon's fingertips and flew into the goal... Juventus 3:1 Roma.

Roma fans cheered for their prince, but this was the only time they could feel excited throughout the game, because Totti's goal did not change any game situation at all, and the rhythm was still firmly controlled by Juventus.

In the end, Juventus beat Roma 4:1. Quagliarella scored the last goal, and Lin Zhigao assisted him.

The absolute score of 4:1 does not appear very often in Italian football. The score that appears more frequently in the league is one goal, two goals, or simply a tie (the tie occurs the most, and sometimes it will appear in a round of the league. 4 or 5 draws), not to mention that it was a strong team like Rome that was defeated.

It's no wonder that when the game was in stoppage time, the England commentator murmured: "I seem to see Manchester United at the end of the last century."

Comparing the current Juventus to Manchester United ten years ago is definitely a very high evaluation, because even in its most glorious time, Juventus has never been able to dominate the top league like Manchester United for nearly ten years— —The most glorious era of Manchester United was the decade from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, during which they not only created the first triple crown glory in England's history, but also won a full 1993 Premier League titles!

Ten years of Premier League, eight championships, what kind of dominance is this!

Until later, the Premier League flourished completely, attracting a lot of foreign funds. People of all kinds, such as UAE oil tycoons and Russian billionaires, joined the Premier League teams one after another, and cultivated Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams that rivaled Manchester United. At the same time as the "Golden Dollar League", Manchester United's dominance momentum was curbed.

But the current Serie A is not the same as the Premier League at the beginning of the century. There is very little foreign capital injection here. The major shareholders of the Milan duo, Juventus, Naples and other strong teams are also Italians. The financial situation is tangled and struggling.PetroChina once wanted to invest in Inter Milan, but in the end it was nothing. This makes it difficult for a team to dominate the situation when most of the teams in Serie A are not doing well economically. be broken.

……

At the end of May, just after the Coppa Italia final, Lin Zhigao didn’t even attend the celebration banquet held by the club, so he took a plane and returned to China. He wanted to have a few boxes here with his teammates of the national team, and then went to Sao Paulo, Brazil to prepare for the Brazil World Cup. .

The Chinese team is in the same group as the host Brazil in this World Cup, and they are both in Group A. Because the host Brazil will hold the World Cup opener against Denmark after the opening ceremony on June 6, so the arrangements for the matches in Group A are all The first match of the Chinese team is against Cameroon on the 12th, while the match between China and Brazil is on the 14th.

Chinese fans don't know much about Denmark and Cameroon, and these two national teams are not star-studded, so Chinese reporters generally focus on Brazil in order to attract readers' attention... For example, Mal and Lin Zhigao are making fuss about it, and the just-concluded Champions League final is a good auxiliary topic.

In a questionnaire conducted by a certain website, 90.00% of the Chinese fans felt that "the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team must be the latter", and the other [-]% had a fluke mentality. Nothing is impossible", and what makes this part of the fans full of confidence is the performance of Lin Zhigao killing Neymar in the Champions League final.

Although in terms of the overall strength of the team, the Brazilian team can undoubtedly throw the Chinese team directly to an alien planet, but what about the core-to-core ratio?Even the Brazilian media did not dare to say that Neymar beat Lin Zhigao, and could only vaguely say that "with the advantage of the home court, Neymar should be able to perform at a super level in this World Cup."

When Lin Zhigao appeared at Beijing International Airport, he caused an absolute sensation.

There are so many "pick-up incidents" at the Capital Airport almost every day, because there are too many celebrity politicians coming in and out here, but there is absolutely no one with the scale of today's, and it is definitely not enough to say that it is "an empty alley". Even the police who had received the news early and came to maintain law and order were shocked.

Eighty percent of the fans were wearing uniforms. They held various slogans and photos, and they kept chanting Lin Zhigao's name. When they saw the real person appearing, riots broke out, and everyone wanted to squeeze to Lin Zhigao's side. Go, some people even lost their minds, and when they saw the policemen blocking them, they kicked them...

Lin Zhigao has never been stingy with his autographs and photos. He even gave away a lot of jerseys. It is rare to return to China. He originally planned to give some benefits to domestic fans today, but... when he saw the crowds swarming at the airport (As if he was a new iPhone 6), and the hundred and ten journalists holding microphones and cameras in a desperate posture, they could only swallow their saliva, and then obediently left the airport and went to the hotel under the escort of several bodyguards.

Yes, hotel.Lin Zhigao still has no time to go home. On the one hand, all members of the Chinese team are waiting for him to set off. On the other hand, he wants to take advantage of this short one-day stay in Beijing to participate in many activities.

For example, negotiating a contract with PES, finalizing the contract and time for shooting a public service advertisement about environmental protection issues with CCTV, selling Sun Dawei's face to accept a short interview with "Sports Weekly"...

More importantly, Juventus will conduct a China tour this summer. As a warm-up, there will be three Juventus franchised stores in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.Lin Zhigao can only participate in the ribbon-cutting event in Beijing because of the long time. From then on, Chinese fans can buy genuine Juventus jerseys in their own country instead of looking for purchasing agents online.

A set of genuine Juventus jerseys costs thousands of yuan. In the past, many Chinese fans thought that "whoever buys the genuine ones is an idiot". When the Serie A Super Cup was held in the Bird's Nest in 2011, many fans wore pirated jerseys to watch the game. Yes...but it's different now, a club with compatriots playing for them and doing a good job can always attract fans to put more money into their hands.

The Juventus franchise store in Beijing sold tens of thousands of jerseys on the first day of opening, and the warehouse immediately announced that it was sold out. The manager of the franchise store wanted to transfer goods from Shanghai or Guangzhou, but learned that Shanghai was sold out earlier than Beijing, and Guangzhou’s Some stocks were also transferred to Shanghai, and some fans who stayed up all night queuing but couldn’t buy anything got annoyed. They gathered around the door of the exclusive store to protest collectively: How many jerseys did you prepare, and they sold out so quickly? ! More than 1 pieces?Think this is all we need to get rid of?You bully us Chinese people have no money, right!

Italians dare not say this, because now the whole world knows that Chinese people are rich... What made them feel this way?It's not just the jerseys that were sold out in less than a day, but because the Chinese government used an oil contract and an unknown amount of euros to exchange for their national team a stadium dedicated to World Cup matches. Prepare base.

……

People are stupid(?)!Lots of money!Hurry up!

This is the current impression of fans from all over the world on China. Of course, the word "people are stupid" contains absolutely deep envy and hatred.At least after Lin Zhigao came to Brazil, he received dozens of all kinds of sour text messages on his mobile phone.

Morumbi in Sao Paulo, one of the official venues for the World Cup in Brazil, has now become a dedicated training base for the Chinese team. They will rent this stadium for all non-competition time until the end of the World Cup.In fact, the Chinese team will also have a match with the Danish team in Morumbi, so this is definitely adapting to the venue in advance.

During the World Cup in Brazil, 32 countries will come here to participate in the competition, and how they will train and warm up during the World Cup is definitely a big problem. Good pre-match preparations will directly affect the official competition results.

Large-scale stadiums have complete training facilities, formal pitches and turf, which can enable players to adapt to playing in Brazil as soon as possible. You can find a closed gymnasium for training, because this can ensure that the tactics will not be leaked.

Many countries have come up with the idea of ​​these 12 competition stadiums in Brazil. They want to lease the right to use the stadium from the Brazilian Football Association. It's time for governments to play the friendship card, the money card, and even the threat card.

As a sporting event, the World Cup, like the Olympic Games, is not purely a sports competition. It is more a comprehensive representative of national strength, national honor, and international status. The Chinese government took the lead in giving the Chinese team a good start. The other 11 football stadiums were also divided up by major countries, such as Germany, England, the United States, France, etc. Some countries that failed to find a good stadium and did not want to settle in a small place simply set up their own stadiums. Domestic preparations, and then flew to Brazil a few days before the opening of the World Cup.

The smoke of the World Cup has already started before the official competition started.

Some teammates who used to have a good relationship in the club also kept a subtle distance from each other at this time, because the head coaches of the national teams of various countries do not support the players to have more contact with their friends in the club.They worry about inadvertently revealing the country's tactics to others when the players socialize in private.

At a time when most people "diplomatically disappeared", Lin Zhigao unexpectedly became a favorite.His friends came to Morumbi to find him in an endless stream, not only Juventus teammates, but also friends he met in various competitions.While the media reported that "the relationship between Ronaldo and Iker Casillas is stiff", they wondered "Lin Zhigao is so popular?"

Later, Lin Zhigao asked Messi to know that the reason why everyone's attitude towards him has not changed at all is because everyone thinks that Lin Zhigao, who plays for the club, is undoubtedly very lethal, but when he is placed in the Chinese team ?Lin Zhigao immediately became a harmless rose, the one with all the thorns pulled out.

One week before the opening of the World Cup in Brazil, the Argentine coach found Camacho and proposed: How about a warm-up match between Argentina and China?

Camacho was overjoyed immediately!

When this matter was finalized, Messi happily called Lin Zhigao and said, "I will go to Sao Paulo to find you tomorrow!" The Chinese players were dizzy with joy—we actually want to play a friendly match with Argentina?This, doesn't this mean that I can meet those superstars... This opportunity is really once in a century!

When the news spread, there was a lot of discussion from the outside world, and the coaches of most countries found it very strange: Argentina would actually take a fancy to the Chinese team for the warm-up match?

The time before the World Cup is undoubtedly precious. All countries are busy training and retraining. Even in the warm-up match, they are looking for opponents who are at the same level as themselves, or even stronger, because only high-level competitions can improve the strength of the players. , and wasting such precious time beheading a weak chicken?If others hear it, they will only think that the brains of the Argentine team are broken.

But Savilla's decision was actually deliberate, and he made this move mainly for Messi.

Messi joined the Argentine national team in 05, but unlike his brilliant performance in the club, his record in the national team has been poor. The World Cup in South Africa in 10 was considered Messi's peak period, but Argentina, the favorite to win the championship, was eliminated in the quarter-finals. It was not until Argentina began to prepare for the World Cup in Brazil in 12 that Messi's state in the national team It just started to improve slowly.

Everyone guesses that Messi will definitely shine in the World Cup in Brazil, but Savilla, who knows Messi very well, also knows in his heart that he has been unable to perform well in the national team, which makes Messi's own mentality a little problematic , he sometimes feels a little unconfident...Messi is a man but not a god, of course he will be unhappy and unconfident sometimes.

Until one day Savilla discovered that whenever he went to Sao Paulo and Lin Zhigao after the party, Messi’s mood would become very relaxed, and he would often perform at a high level in training—could a good social friendship improve Messi’s performance? combat effectiveness?Savilla couldn't help but think about it.He thought about it carefully for a long time, and then he felt that maybe it would be good to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team, brush up their statistics on them, and give Messi and the Argentine team some confidence?

Only then did Savilla propose to Camacho the game.

Camacho was of course pleasantly surprised.He is actually a world-class head coach, but since coaching the Chinese team, apart from competing with Asian powers like South Korea, Uzbekistan, and Iran in official games, where can he see world-class teams?If the Chinese team can have a duel with the Argentine team, it will definitely give the Chinese team a qualitative leap!

In fact, even if the strength does not increase, the influence it gets will definitely be good—Camacho sometimes even thinks cruelly, "It's okay to give the Chinese team a 5-0!" He is really fed up with this group of disobedient players. Bully, enough of the guys from the Football Association who are always pointing at their heads!Camachoshe had to ask for the high salary of the Chinese team, but he was absolutely aggrieved by it!

And if the Chinese team can have a big defeat in the warm-up match, that would be great!Give this group of players a good hammer, make them more obedient, and let them realize that the World Cup is definitely not a qualifier!If they still want to force Camacho to listen to them and dictate the team's tactical lineup, then Camacho will directly tell them the truth: You just wait for the Chinese team to die in the group stage!

After the news that the Argentine team was going to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team spread, it quickly attracted the attention of all the countries that were preparing for the match in Brazil. The stands of the Morumbi Stadium were quickly occupied by national teams from various countries. Some of them came for the Argentine team, such as Speaking of Greece, Nigeria, Portugal and Germany, some came for the Chinese team, such as Brazil, Denmark and Cameroon.

At this time, the players with the highest happiness index are definitely the players of the Chinese national team. They can't believe that they have received the attention of so many world powers!What a dreamlike reality!

Is Chinese football really rising under my feet?Many people thought in a fluttering way: Does this mean that I am the savior of Chinese football?Well, it sure is!
