Chapter 311: Sprint Stage

Setúbal, Portugal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Wenkang, who had just finished training, was answering a phone call from Feng Kai, and Feng Kai had good news to tell him.

"Feng, Uncle Feng, what did you say...... Is it all true?" Zhao Wenkang's expression was a little excited, and he didn't know what was going on.

"It's true, I've been in contact with Benfica and coincidentally they happen to be interested in you too, so I'm looking for the right person. ”

"So, can I ...... next season?"

"Absolutely no problem. Benfica's top brass are going to talk to the boss of Setúbal, but it's just a formality, you only have one year left on your contract with Setúbal, and as long as you are willing to leave, there is no reason why the club should not let him go. ”

Zhao Wenkang took a deep breath and said calmly: "I personally am very willing to go to Benfica." ”

"That's good, now you don't have to worry about anything, and you can play the rest of the league with peace of mind. ”

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Feng, I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

"It's nothing, I'm your agent, of course I hope you can go to a better team. Let's not talk about it first, I also have to deal with Yan Tao's side, that kid also wants to leave Vidis, I'll ask him if he wants to stay in the Netherlands or go to another league. ”

Zhao Wenkang was silent for a while, and said: "Uncle Feng, let me give you an opinion, I think it's better for him to stay in the Netherlands, he can first consider going to a more powerful club, and then develop slowly, he is only twenty-one years old, very young, and most of the defenders are late-maturing." ”

"Well, I'll tell him your opinion. Okay, hang up first. ”

"Okay, goodbye, Uncle Feng. ”

Zhao Wenkang is very comfortable, he has been in Setúbal for three years, and he would love to leave here and go to a bigger club. Benfica is a good choice and can compete for a Champions League place every year, which is also an opportunity for Zhao Wenkang to show himself.

He was twenty-three years old and could not afford to waste his youth in Setúbal.

There are still five rounds of the Portuguese Super League to end, and the next round of Setúbal's opponent is Guimaraes, Zhao Wenkang believes that Benfica's senior management will definitely watch the game live, and Zhao Wenkang will have to play well to get more recognition from Benfica.

On April 10, it was the Portuguese Super League match day, Zhao Wenkang did work hard in the game, in the first half he played the back midfield, the long pass in the attack and the interception in the defense were remarkable, and he almost scored. In the second half, he switched from a midfielder to a right midfielder, and in the 69th minute of the game, he scored for the team with a lob shot from the intersection of the two lines on the right side of the penalty area.

Setúbal is 1-0 up over Guimaraes, Zhao's ninth goal of the season, a goal he has scored in just 24 games, along with nine assists. According to this state and performance, he is likely to become the second Chinese player to play a "season double-double" in Europe after Li Mu.

Zhao Wenkang's goal was the only goal of the game, and after the game, a Portuguese journalist interviewed him, and he was very modest to say that it was his teammates who helped him to score. His full-time reporter, Wang Junsong, looked at the foreign reporters next to him, suddenly smiled, and ran to interview head coach Jose Motta.

Motta was also full of praise for Zhao Wenkang and said he was unwilling to lose such an excellent midfielder. Wang Junsong heard something else, so he asked: "Sir, you said that the team is unwilling to lose Zhao Wenkang, what does this mean?"

Motta sighed and said, "Next season, Zhao will not be in Setúbal's lineup, he will wear the Benfica jersey." ”

Wang Junsong was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Sir, can you reveal some details?......

The next day, this day was Wednesday, "Sports Weekly" first broke the news of Zhao Wenkang's whereabouts next season, Wang Junsong wrote: "Setúbal head coach Jose Motta personally confirmed that after the end of this season, Zhao Wenkang will transfer to the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica, and Zhao Wenkang's agent Feng Kai also confirmed the news, in the next season, Zhao Wenkang will become a member of Benfica, the current transfer fee is not yet known." ”

This news has caused a lot of sensation in China, although in the entire Europa continent, Benfica is not a top team, but in the Portuguese Super League, it is a well-deserved super power, Zhao Wenkang can come to Benfica, there is the possibility of winning the Portuguese Super League championship, and there is a chance to participate in the Champions Cup, and more importantly, he can use the platform of the Champions Cup to let more teams know about him.

This transfer is really a triple win!

When the domestic media paid attention to Zhao Wenkang's whereabouts, the 32nd round of Serie A also ignited the fire at 6 pm local time, Juventus defeated Lazio 4:1 at home, Li Mu opened the scoring for the team, and then Zhang Shujie kicked the head and foot in two consecutive cities, and finally Vidal added the icing on the cake, Lazio only scored an inconsequential "face ball" before the end.

Zhang Shujie was the most watched player in this game, scoring his 20th and 21st goals in the league and tied for second in the scorer list with Edinson Cavani. "Torino Sport" couldn't help but praise: "It's unbelievable, he is only 21 years old, he can score more than 20 goals in the league, in recent decades, only players of his age have done it in the Barcelona period, even Messi and Ronaldo have not been able to do it at the age of 21." ”

"When he scored the 20th goal in the game, the whole Stade de la Neue Alp raised his number 9 shirt, and when he scored the 21st goal, the whole stadium crowd chanted his name. We don't need to be surprised by these actions, just consider that Juventus have not been able to score 20 goals in the league since the 2007/2008 season, which is intolerable for a big club. But today, Zhang Shujie has not only reached 20 goals, he has already surpassed that number. ”

The most boiling thing is the domestic media, what is the concept of Chinese players scoring 21 goals in Serie A? Not to mention that no one dared to think about it many years ago, even last year, no one dared to have this idea. Zhang Shujie's growth is too fast, perhaps because the exposure of "Jie Hanlian" at the beginning of the year made him more mature, and made him understand the responsibilities that a man should bear earlier.

The league is not over yet, and Zhang Shujie can continue to increase his goals.

In the 33rd round of Juventus's away game against Cesena, Zhang Shujie shot five times in the whole game, but unfortunately failed to score, Li Mu seized one opportunity in each half and scored twice, helping the Bianconeri to capture Cesena 2:0 away, and Juventus also ushered in three consecutive wins.

In this round, Li Mu replaced Zhang Shujie and became the best in the game. "Torino Sports Newspaper" jokingly said: "Now Juventus has won the most best times The two people are Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and recently the two have alternately sat in the position of 'best player of the match', and I don't know if they have discussed, you should be a round, I will be a round." ”

Conte also said: "With their ability, as long as one of them plays at a 100 per cent level in the game, victory is not far away. ”

After Zhang Shujie surpassed 20 league goals, Li Mu also set a new personal high, and he has scored 14 league goals for Juventus, making him the team's second-highest scorer, two more than last season's total of 12. The media sorted out the data of the two: Zhang Shujie scored 21 goals and 7 assists, creating 28 goals for the team, and Li Mu scored 14 goals and 10 assists, creating 24 goals for the team. Zhang Shujie created four goals more than Li Muduo, but Li Mu played three fewer games than Zhang Shujie, and overall, the contributions of the two to the team were roughly the same.

Chinese fans are overjoyed to see these figures, and in Serie A, there are only two people who have contributed more to the team than the two: Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani. Even Milito was lower than the two.

"Torino Sport" once joked that the two took turns to be the best in the game, but in the 34th round, the two failed to win this honor, Juventus drew 0:0 at home to Roma, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu performed averagely, the best in the game is Buffon, if it weren't for him, Juventus may have ushered in the first defeat in the league.

Juventus failed to win, and rivals AC Milan did not take advantage of the opportunity, as the Rossoneri lost 1-0 at home to Bologna, four points behind Juventus, and lost in the sprint to the league.

The league title is getting closer and closer to Juventus, and with four rounds to go, it will be decided who is the king of Serie A this season!

Juventus won another draw away from home in the 35th round, and this draw was definitely an upset because the opponent was Novara, a relegated team. Juventus were beaten twice by Novara, but fortunately Zhang Shujie scored at the last moment, and Juventus were lucky to get a point.

Conte was unhappy with the team's performance as a whole, especially at the back, which was full of holes and conceded both goals inexplicably. Torino Sport was outspoken in its criticism of several defenders, but Li Mu, who had two assists in the game, and Zhang Shujie, who scored the equaliser, were still praised, and the two Chinese strikers somewhat maintained a trace of Juventus' dignity.

Surprisingly, AC Milan did not win this round and only played a draw with Siena, which was also an upset. "Milan Sports Newspaper" said helplessly: "Could it be that the league championship has become a hot potato? Let these two teams push me and let me, are they unwilling to take over? You must know that it is now the end of the season, and the teams in the major leagues have launched the final sprint in order to win the championship, only Serie A, which is incomprehensible." ”

In the mainstream European leagues, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 are basically no suspense, and the La Liga giants Real Madrid have basically won the championship, unless Barcelona staged a shocking reversal, or Real Madrid will be able to break Barcelona's monopoly on La Liga for three consecutive years; Dortmund of the Bundesliga is also about to win the league championship, and its biggest opponent, Bayern Munich, has fallen to third place in the league; Montpellier, the French team, is seven points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain, and it is not a big problem to win the league title.

There is still competition left in Serie A and the Premier League, the most fierce is the Premier League, the top two Manchester City and Manchester United have the same points, even the number of wins, losses and draws are exactly the same, but Manchester City has a few more goal difference, temporarily at the top of the table. Ma Junqiang, who joined in the winter, has firmly occupied the position of Manchester City's main goalkeeper, and his performance has been very good, Manchester City can surpass Manchester United on goal difference, and Ma Junqiang, as the team's last line of defense, has contributed a lot.

British media such as "Insight into Offside" have likened him to the "Great Wall of China", as long as he is there, coaches, teammates and fans are very relieved, and even Joe Hart, who has returned from injury, can only be his substitute. His outstanding performances make it hard to believe that he only came to the team a few months ago.

Ma Junqiang, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, three Chinese players who are very likely to win the league title, have received the most attention in China, and fans and media are hoping that they can create a miracle. There are only three rounds left in Serie A and the Premier League, and in those three rounds, Juventus only need to win two more games to win the title. Manchester City's situation is uncertain, and if Ma can continue his good form and hold the gates, the Premier League upstart will be able to win the first Premier League title in their history.

In the next round, Manchester City's opponents are Newcastle United, while Juventus' opponents are Lecce.
