Chapter 1024: The World Cup is coming

After the victory, AC Milan held a grand parade in the streets, lined with Milan fans, and the open-top buses, painted in red and black, could only move slowly and walk on the road at a turtle speed. Zhang Shujie stood at the front of the roof of the car, raising the big ear cup with both hands, signaling to the audience, while all the fans in the scene chanted his name.

"Zhang Shujie!Zhang Shujie!Zhang Shujie!Zhang Shujie!"

Then he handed the trophy to his other teammates, and then Chen Zihua walked up to him, grabbed his shoulder, and said with a smile: "After the club game is over, it will be the World Cup." ”

"Well, yes. Zhang Shujie nodded heavily.

"How's that, do you have faith?"

Zhang Shujie looked at him after hearing this, and said, "You mean, champion?"

"Would I say runner-up?"

Zhang Shujie smiled: "Yes." But we're professionals, and a lot of times, it's not just faith that wins the title. However, we still have the strength, and only this thing can allow us to win the championship. ”

Chen Zihua was about to speak, when he heard Yan Tao's voice coming from behind: "The strength of the team is the greatest guarantee for winning the championship." ”

As he spoke, he stood beside Zhang Shujie and put his hand on his shoulder. Xu Ziyi appeared next to Chen Zihua and also hugged Chen Zihua's shoulders.

Xu Ziyi said: "In all the competitions I have participated in, I have won all the championships I can win, and now, there is only one short. ”

Yan Tao said: "We are all the same. ”

Chen Zihua said: "So, we must also get the championship of this last event. ”

Zhang Shujie said with a smile: "I want to take it too, not only us, Li Mu and Ma Junqiang, they must also want to take it!"

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

After the end of the Champions League, all the media's eyes are focused on the upcoming World Cup in Russia, although there is still more than half a month to start, but in the face of this grand sporting event, all the media attach great importance to it. Not only the football world, but also other sports players are paying attention, and even the entertainment media are taking advantage of the popularity of the World Cup.

After watching the Champions League final on site, An Rong and his disciples chartered a flight back to the Xianghe training base in Hebei, China, the next day. Another day, on May 28, Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi and Yan Tao arrived in Xianghe on May 28, Beijing time, and successfully joined the national team.

At present, the national football players who have played overseas have basically returned to the national team, and there is only one person, who has not returned for the time being. This person is Li Mu.

Li Mu's injury has healed, and An Rong also wrote his name into the list early. It's just that Li Mu tried to do less unnecessary sports for the World Cup competition. The doctor also advised him to stay in London for two more days of observation, which would not have any impact on his training camp with the national team anyway. After confirming that there was no obstacle, Li Mu successfully arrived at Xianghe on May 30, Beijing time, and the last national team member returned to the team!

Among them, AC Milan has four people, namely Zhang Shujie, Xu Ziyi, Chen Zihua, and Yan Tao, Juventus two, Zhao Wenkang and Huang Yu, Manchester City, Ma Junqiang and Liang Xiran, and Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid, each with Li Mu, Xu Zhixin, and Tang Ling.

In addition to these four major leagues, there are also Yuan Chengye who plays in Standard Liege in Belgium, Qin Tianzhu who plays for Besiktas in Turkey, Liu Jianwei who plays for Glasgow Rangers in Scotland, Xiao Feng who plays in Kroningen in the Eredivisie, and Liao Dongyuan who plays in Panasin Kronkenas in Greece.

Even among the players who play in the domestic league, there are rising stars like Lin Li. He scored two goals in last year's Confederations Cup, which left a very deep impression on everyone, and he will be a tactical pawn for An Rong and play his tactical role.

The Chinese team is the first team to announce the squad among the 32 participating teams, and after seeing these figures, the media of various countries all lamented that the strength of the Chinese team is too strong, especially the predictable main eleven: two Mr. Golden Balls, four of them have entered the top three of the Golden Ball Awards, six of them have been selected for the World Team of the Year, and seven have been selected for the top 10 of Mr. Football! Each of them has won the league championship as the main force in their respective leagues, and as many as five of them have won the Champions League! And there are even more players who have participated in the Champions League final with the main team of the team, ten! At present, only the youngest Xu Zhixin has not participated in the Champions League final for the time being!

I have to say that there are not many such teams in the history of the World Cup. As a result, the following scene occurred......

National media: The lineup is too beautiful to watch!

Foreign media: Envy, jealousy and hate!

The top 32 of the World Cup were all produced as early as November last year, and except for the host Russia, the remaining 31 teams have the largest number of European places, reaching 13, namely Belgium, Germany, England, Spain, Poland, Iceland, Serbia, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Croatia, Sweden and Denmark.

This is followed by Asia, Africa and South America, all with five. China, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Australia will be represented in Asia, Nigeria, Egypt, Senegal, Morocco and Tunisia will be represented in Africa, and Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Peru will be represented in South America.

The CONCACAF region has the fewest teams with only three, namely Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama.

In this World Cup, Italy and the Netherlands, which everyone is very familiar with, did not enter the finals, and they will not be able to see the wonderful performances of stars such as Robben, which is undoubtedly a lot of luster for the World Cup. However, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and other superstars have not been absent, and I believe that as long as they exist, the World Cup will still be exciting.

Some teams are participating in the World Cup for the first time in history, such as Iceland, Tunisia and Panama. I believe that after Euro 2016, many people have a first understanding of Iceland, when this small country with a population of only 300,000 created a miracle, and now they have extended the miracle to the World Cup again. As for Tunisia and Panama, it is estimated that many people know very little about them, but they don't know if they can also create a miracle of their own like Iceland.

However, for Chinese fans, the most concerned is the Chinese team. Although it is only their third World Cup, they have high hopes from the fans, and if you look at this lineup, it seems that it exists to win the championship. Some media asked whether Guo Fan, chairman of the Football Association, really considered "winning the championship", and Guo Fan replied in a flash, "It's not up to me to have the final say, although I hope to win the championship." In fact, the implication of this statement is also to imply that the Chinese team will definitely attack the championship.
