At 23:00 on the evening of January 28, Beijing time, China and South Korea began the battle for the third place, and the Chinese team lost 0:1 to South Korea in the absence of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu due to injury and Yan Tao's red card suspension, and unfortunately failed to win the third place. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this game Gu Zizhe scored the only goal of the game, and in the scorer list, he also tied for first place with Zhang Shujie with 5 goals, if nothing else, the two are likely to wear the Asian Cup Golden Boot together.

A day later, the Khalifa Stadium will host the final match of the Asian Cup, where Japan and Australia will decide who will be the champions. After 120 minutes of competition, the Japanese team won the championship with a 1-0 victory over Australia in the 109th minute with the team's super substitute, Korean player Lee Chung-sung.

Japan's victory also marked the end of the Asian Cup, and the major awards were also announced, with South Korea's Koo Zi-cheol and China's Zhang Shujie winning the title of top scorer with five goals, and Japan's Keisuke Honda winning the Most Valuable Player, an award that also convinced many Chinese media and fans, who thought Zhang Shujie was more qualified.

However, some people pointed out that Zhang Shujie is excellent, but who told him that he did not enter the finals!

The Fair Play Award was given to South Korea, and the award was well deserved, the South Korean team did not have a single red card in this Cup, and the number of yellow cards was also the least, you must know that the Chinese team received two red cards.

The Japanese team has been crowned Asian champions for the fourth time in 1992, 2000 and 2004. What's even more incredible is that the Japanese team has only participated in the Asian Cup seven times in total, but this Dongying team has won the cup four times, and its strength is self-evident.

Japan's championship has caused a great shock to Chinese football, from the national plot, no one wants to see the Japanese team standing at the top of Asia, but it backfired, to this day, Japanese football is already the strongest in Asia, there is no one.

Fans and media with good things have made a comparison between the players of the Chinese team and the Japanese team, China has a group of promising young players such as Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Ma Junqiang, Yan Tao, etc., Japan has Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki, Yuu Nagatomo and other rising stars, on paper, the strength of the Chinese team should not belong to Japan, if there is no injury of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu; if there is no suspension of Yan Tao, the final champion may not be the Japanese team.

Of course, this is just the conjecture of the Chinese media, and there are not so many ifs on the football field, only "results". As a result, the Chinese team won the fourth place, and the Japanese team won the first place, achieving their Asian hegemony.

"Asian hegemon?" Guo Fan looked at the news on TV, and a row of subtitles was displayed at the bottom of the screen: The Japanese team has won the Asian championship four times, and Dongying people are worthy of the Asian hegemon.

Guo Fan snorted coldly and muttered, "While Zhang Shujie and them are still young, let you be proud for a few more years." With that, he turned off the TV.

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

Now that the Asian Cup has ended, the Chinese team has been disbanded on the spot, those who should return to China will return to China, and those who should stay in the United States will stay in the United States, but there are still two people who have to stay in Qatar for treatment for the time being.

The Chinese media is closely following the recovery of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and because of the status of Chen Hui, Shen Hao and their friends, Sports Weekly is always the fastest to inform fans across the country of exclusive information.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's wards are not far apart, and after a week of treatment, the two of them can walk on the ground with the help of crutches. Chen Hui also posted a photo with the two on the report, in which Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were smiling, and from the smiles, Chinese fans could guess that the two were recovering well.

Wang Shihan called Zhang Shujie almost every day and asked him for warmth. In the daily phone call, I learned that Zhang Shujie's injury was recovering well, and the girl gradually felt more and more at ease.

After ten days of treatment and observation in the hospital, the two will return to the club to recuperate, Feng Kai personally came to Qatar, under the care and arrangement of Feng Kai and Parma staff, the two returned to the club.

The news quickly spread in the small town of Parma, where almost all the fans ran to greet their hero. There were many reporters with him, and Chen Hui and Shen Hao, as well as other journalist friends in China, also followed all the way.

The car drove slowly, as if it was taking special care of the two of them. When the two teenagers sat in the special car provided by the club and saw the fans on the street, they were a little surprised and a little moved.

Feng Kai smiled and said to the two, "Didn't you expect that you would be so popular in Parma?"

Zhang Shujie smiled: "To be honest, I always thought that it was normal for the fans here to like us, but I didn't expect them to be so fanatical about us. ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest, Uncle Feng, this is completely unexpected." ”

Feng Kai was still smiling: "Because you are the heroes here, Parma has a poor record during the time that they lost you. You know what? Marino was going crazy waiting for you, and he even came to me and asked me if I knew when you would be back. ”

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were stunned for a moment, and Feng Kai continued: "Fortunately, you are not a major injury, otherwise Parma will have to consider whether they can stay in Serie A in the second half of the season." ”

Chen Hui looked at the crowd and whispered to himself: "These two boys ......"

Shen Hao asked, "What did you say?"

"Nothing, let's go, keep up with the crowd. ”

The car drove all the way to the apartment where the two lived, where manager Marino and assistant Manzo were waiting for them at the door, as was the club's president, Giraldi.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were very surprised to see Giraldi from a distance in the car, if Marino and Manzo came to greet them, it would have made sense, but Giraldi came, and it really gave these two teenagers enough face.

Feng Kai saw the confusion between the two and explained: "Giraldi also wants you to come back as soon as possible, so that you can win for the team." The team's results are not good these days, and he is also very distressed. ”

The car stopped in front of the apartment, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu stepped out of the car with the support of two staff members, Giraldi immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the two respectively: "It's good to come back, and recuperate well in the club!"

The two felt a flash of lights light up around them, and it seemed that the media had news to write about. In fact, whether it is Zhang Shujie or Li Mu, he rarely sees Giraldi on weekdays, and his understanding of him is also very limited, and today he only symbolically shook hands with him, and then walked to Marino.

For Marino, the two are not as affectionate as Guidolin at the beginning, but as the head coach, he has to meet with them almost every day, and he also trusts these two, so when facing Marino, both of them are much more cordial.

"Does the injury matter?" asked Marino.

Zhang Shujie said: "There is no big problem, and the rest of the time is to recuperate." ”

"Recuperate in peace, everyone is still waiting for you. ”

The two nodded, and went to shake Manzo's hand.

Manzo has the grace of knowing the two teenagers, and is their enlightenment coach in Europe, in a sense, without Manzo, there would be no Zhang Shujie and Li Mu today.

Manzo didn't say anything polite, just smiled: "Don't say anything, recuperation is the main thing, go back to the room to rest first." ”

There has been a change in the number of people living in the apartment, with Strassell, who had previously lived with the two, sold to second-division side Ancona after the winter break, but his room was not vacated and a new person moved in.

Italian player Francisco Modesto.

Modesto was born in 1982 and is 29 years old this year, having played for so many years and has not achieved much. He used to play for ******, and he has been injured in the past two seasons, playing fewer games, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have not had a chance to meet him. After the winter transfer opened, Parma made a player exchange deal with Antonelli and ******, and the player in exchange was Modesto.

Although native to Italy, Modesto does not own a house in Parma, so he also lives in an apartment. He saw that Zhang Shujie and Li Mu had already come in, and greeted the two with a smile.

"Hi Zhang, Lee! So saying, he stepped forward to help the two of them, even though they were already being supported.

It's not the first time Modesto has seen the two of them, they have met several times before on the bench, but Zhang Shujie and Li Mu met him for the first time. Seeing this unfamiliar face at the door, the two remembered that Strassel was no longer in Palma.

I have some regrets in my heart, I have been roommates with Strassel for a year and a half, and as soon as I returned to the club after the Asian Cup, the black young man from Africa was no longer here.

Manzo, who was walking behind, said to Zhang Shujie and Li Mu: "This is Francisco Modesto, your new teammate, who will live with the two of you from now on." ”

The two nodded to Modesto, Marino looked at Modesto, and said, "Francisco, you take care of the two of them first, we still have things to do, let's go first, and we have to train in the afternoon." ”

"Okay. ”

After saying that, Manzo followed Marino and the two team staff out of the door, and Manzo did not forget to warn the two to have a good rest before leaving.

After Feng Kai said a few words, he was about to leave. He asked the two if they needed to send someone to take care of their diet and daily life, Zhang Shujie said no, they were able to walk with crutches, and if there was a real need, the club would arrange it, and there was a Modesto here.

Feng Kai nodded, didn't say anything more, and left after a few words.

The two of them sat on the couch, and Modesto came over and said, "Guys, if there's anything you want me to help with, just say it." ”

Zhang Shujie smiled: "Then thank you first." ”

"It's okay, the head coach has already explained it in advance, let me help you more during this time of your recuperation. ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "He really likes us." ”

Modesto shrugged: "After all, you are important to the team. ”

The two smiled silently. I don't know if Modesto is new and needs to be worn on these two top Parma stars, or if there is some other reason, in short, what he said is still right, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are indeed very important to the team.

Important players are often valued by the club, otherwise Giraldi and Marino would not have gone to the door of the apartment to pick them up. Look at Strassell's treatment, he was deemed to be of little use to the team, and the club sold him to Ancona in Serie B without blinking.

So even if Modesto is 29 years old and a veritable "uncle" in front of these two teenagers, he is not as qualified as the two in Parma, not to mention that the two are still so important to the club, for all these reasons, he has to take care of them as much as he can.

Modesto looked at the two of them and said, "If it's okay, then I'll go and rest for a while, and I have to train in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Shujie said: "Okay, then you can go." ”

"Don't move around, you can call me if you have something, and I'll take care of it for you. ”

Modesto left this sentence and went back to the room, Zhang Shujie glanced at Li Mu, Li Mu also looked over, and then, both of them laughed.

Before you go back to the court, you can honestly recuperate at home.
