Chapter 517: Club World Cup

The full name of the Club World Cup is "FIFA Club World Cup", and the Chinese media habitually referred to it as "Club World Cup", which was formerly known as the Toyota Cup. In 2oo4, the Club World Cup replaced the Toyota Cup after Portuguese giants Porto won the last Toyota Cup.

In fact, as early as 2ooo, there was a nominal Club World Cup, but due to sponsor problems, it was forced to cancel, and it was not officially opened until 2oo5. In the past, the Club World Cup was held in Japan, but in 2oo9 and 2o1o it was in the United Arab Emirates, and this year it was Morocco.

There are seven teams competing in the Club World Cup, with the exception of the host's home league champions, all of whom are continental champions. In fact, the Club World Cup started as early as December 12, but due to the rules of the game, Bayern, as the European champions, only have to play from the semi-finals, and the South American champions Atletico Mineiro also play from the semi-finals.

In addition to these two teams, the winner of the host country will face the winner of the Oceania first, and the winner will form four teams with the champions of Asia, Africa, Central and North America, divided into two groups to face off, and the winner will play the European and South American champions in the semi-finals, and the winner will go to the final.

This year's Club World Cup is more concerned than in the past for Chinese fans, not only because of the presence of Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao in the Bayern squad, but also because of Guangzhou Evergrande's participation.

This is the first time that a Chinese football club has participated in an international competition such as the Club World Cup, and on December 15, Guangzhou Evergrande defeated Al Ahly 2:o thanks to goals from foreign players Conca and Elkeson, and Evergrande was able to advance to the next round of the competition, and Evergrande's opponent in this round was none other than Bayern Munich.

It's another Chinese derby, but unfortunately it's broadcast at 3 a.m. Beijing time, and if it could be broadcast in prime time like the Evergrande vs. Al Ahly game, the ratings would be unimaginable. Even so, the Chinese media made a lot of noise about the match.

"Bayern Munich vs Guangzhou Evergrande; Zhang Shujie Yan Tao vs Chinese Stars!"

Such a title first appeared in the "Sports Weekly", in all fairness, although Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Champions League championship for Chinese clubs, but these players in front of Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao, I am afraid it is difficult to be called a big star. Even players such as Conca, Elkeson, and Muric, who are invincible in Asia, have very limited international popularity, and it is difficult for them to even enter their own national team, so what about Bayern? The main squad is almost all regulars of the national team.

But in any case, Guangzhou Evergrande can compete with a giants like Bayern, which can be regarded as a learning. As captain Zheng Zhi said: "It will be a rare opportunity for us to play against a team like Bayern Munich. We're going to face Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao in the game, and I'll admit that there's a big gap between us and him, but I think we can learn a lot. ”

Zheng Zhi said such things in the tone of a weak man at the beginning, this is not his weakness, let alone a deliberate show of weakness, but an ironclad fact. As a former teammate of the national team, Zheng Zhi knows Zhang Shujie's strength very well.

**************************

Dalian, China.

Wang Shihan has returned here, her graduation thesis and defense have all been successfully passed, and the school's courses have all ended. Although the internship will not officially start until the new year, Wang Shihan still went out in advance to try the working atmosphere. She didn't go anywhere else, she went directly to her father's company to help him deal with the company's affairs. Although she is the boss's daughter, Wang Shihan does not have any privileges, let alone put on an attitude such as "I am your boss Wang's daughter" in front of the employees. Wang Qingzhe has long told her that she, like the employees of the company, is nothing special. But because Wang Shihan's identity has long been exposed by the media, many people know everything about her, so although Wang Shihan has not revealed his relationship with the boss of this company, many colleagues actually know some insiders, but there is no surface.

finally finished a day's work, Wang Shihan saw that it was not time to get off work, so he went to Wang Qingzhe's office.

She knocked on the door, and Wang Qingzhe's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Wang Shihan pushed the door in.

"Dad. Seeing that there was no one else in the office, Wang Shihan didn't hide it.

Wang Qingzhe looked at her, his eyes were not much different from those of other employees, but vaguely, revealing a fatherly love and pity, all of which Wang Shihan saw in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Shihan?"

"That's the kind of dad, I want to take a day off on the 18th. ”

"Leave?"

"Hmm. Wang Shihan nodded.

"If you want to ask for leave, why don't you go to your superior, Director Liu? Just because you are my daughter, you will come to me directly?" Although there were some reproaches in these words, Wang Qingzhe's tone was very soft from beginning to end, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. Not for anything else, just because the girl in front of me is his beloved daughter.

"Didn't Director Liu get sick and be hospitalized the day before yesterday? ”

"Oh. Wang Qingzhe remembered that there was such a thing, nodded, and asked, "What are you doing on leave?"

"This ......," Wang Shihan was thinking about whether to say it.

Wang Qingzhe saw through her thoughts: "Do you want to see the World Club Cup?"

Wang Shihan immediately nodded: "Yes, Bayern vs. Guangzhou Evergrande." ”

Wang Qingzhe hadn't agreed yet, smiled a little, and buried his head in reading the information in his hand.

Wang Shihan took a few steps forward, walked to his father's desk, and said, "Dad, you see that there haven't been a lot of things lately, and I'm not busy here, otherwise, you can give me a day off, right?"

Wang Qingzhe raised his head and looked at her, and Wang Shihan said again: "I promise, I will definitely finish everything in hand when I come back from vacation!"

Wang Qingzhe shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I don't want you to make any guarantees, you can watch the game with peace of mind." ”

Wang Shihan was overjoyed: "So, Dad, you promised to give me a day off?"

"Well, yes. ”

"Thank you Dad, I love you!" Wang Shihan said, walking around behind Wang Qingzhe and putting his hands on his shoulders.

Wang Qingzhe laughed out loud: "Go write a leave note and hand it over to me." ”

"Good. Wang Shihan was about to walk out as he spoke, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he turned around and said, "By the way, Dad, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter. ”

"It's about Zhou Ying, she's been out by herself for a year, aren't we going to prepare to recruit another person next year......?"

"I know that, her parents told me about it. Zhou Ying, this girl is smart, even if you don't say it, I will consider letting her come to me to do things. ”

"Then I'll thank you for Zhou Ying first. I went out first. ”

"Hmm. ”

Wang Shihan was about to open the door, but Wang Qingzhe suddenly asked again: "I remember the match between Bayern and Evergrande in the early morning, right?"

Wang Shihan was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's right." Dad, you promised to give me a holiday, you can't stop me from watching the game because it's in the early morning, you can't regret it. After speaking, Wang Shihan didn't care about his father's reaction, opened the door and walked out directly.
