"Papaya, look at these reports, they are all talking about the last round of the league. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Zhang Shujie looked at the newspaper and said to Li Mu.

Li Mu was drinking milk and replied a little casually: "What's so strange about this? ”

"Hey, it's unlucky enough, misjudgments have appeared one after another, and the atmosphere on the field is still very hot. ”

'That's true, but then again, we had some problems and the players missed some chances. ”

"Speaking of which, the two of us have not scored or assisted in three consecutive league games. You've got to be in a better situation, you didn't score, but the overall performance was a little bit better than me. ”

Li Mu put down the milk: "Jie Zai, tell me honestly, have you been a little tired lately?

"Why do you ask?"

'You've been playing consistently for half a year, you've never rested, you've played in the Coppa Italia. ”

Zhang Shujie said with a smile: "I feel okay, I have been resting for nearly half a month during the winter break." ”

"What do you call rest? Wang Shihan is here, you still have a rest? Hey, even during the holidays, you have to pay attention to your body, don't squeeze yourself dry. ”

Zhang Shujie coughed lightly and said, "Don't talk about this problem, it seems that the national team game is coming?"

"February 29th. ”

"Oh, you remember it so well. Zhang Shujie was deliberately surprised, he actually knew it, but he just wanted to divert the topic.

"Papaya, if it's okay, I'll go back to the room first. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Call Shihan. Don't eavesdrop!"

", who's going to eavesdrop. ”

On February 29, the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers Top 20 began the final round of competition, and the Chinese team had already won the right to participate in the top 10 matches, so Zhang Shujie and other returnee players did not return to China in this game. In the end, the Chinese team defeated Jordan 3:1 at home, which was a perfect end to the top 20 match.

The end of this tournament also marks the start of another competition, with the round of 10 kicking off in June, when China will face the last hurdle before the World Cup, and whether they can make it to Brazil will depend on how well they perform in these eight games.

Three days later, the twenty-sixth round of Serie A began, and Li Mu's guess about Zhang Shujie a few days ago was not wrong at all, Zhang Shujie was indeed a little tired, in this round of the game against Chievo, there was nothing to see in the first half of the hour, but in the second half, his pace gradually slowed down, and his physical strength was a little unable to keep up. The on-site commentator also thinks that Zhang Shujie is a little tired, from the eleventh round of the league to the present, he has played in all the games of Juventus, and has not missed a single one, maybe Conte should consider making a rotation.

On the other hand, Li Mu, who has been out of action for two rounds in the last two months due to colds and other reasons, is now in full energy, and his performance in this game is also very dazzling, in the first half he passed and shot to help Juventus lead 2-0.

Just two minutes into the second half, he added another goal for his ninth league goal of the season, taking the tally to eleven including the Coppa Italia. In the 54th minute, he created another penalty, which he had already scored twice, and even if he wasn't the first penalty taker by Antonio Conte, his team-mates would have asked him to take it to complete his hat-trick.

But Li Mu gave up the opportunity to wear the first hat of his career, and he gave the free throw to Zhang Shujie, Zhang Shujie's performance in the game was indeed average, and Li Mu also gave this precious penalty to his friend.

Zhang Shujie lived up to Li Mu's kindness, and the fifteenth league goal was born overnight. Shortly after he scored the penalty, Antonio Conte replaced him with Matri. Speaking from the pitch, the announcer added: "This is the first time Zhang Shujie has been substituted after playing for less than an hour, and Conte finally realised that it was time to rest the top scorer." ”

In the end, Marchisio assisted Chiellini and Juventus locked the game at 5:0!

With two goals and an assist and a penalty, Li was rightfully named Man of the Match, with Torino Sport giving him a nine, saying: "If it weren't for taking care of his friend, he could have scored a hat-trick." ”

Zhang Shujie's score was much lower, and the Torino Sports newspaper politely gave him a 6, and if it wasn't for that penalty, his rating would probably not have passed. However, "Torino Sport" also said: "In the past few months, Zhang Shujie has played too many games, he is too tired and needs to rest. ”

On March 11, in the 27th round of Serie A, Juventus played away against ******, and Zhang Shujie really did not start and was on standby on the bench. Li Mu continued his good form and opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a brilliant lob. That score lasted until five minutes before the end of the game, when ****** were lucky enough to equalise, by which time Juventus had used up all three substitutions and could not substitute any more attacking players.

Li Mu was substituted in the 83rd minute, the last player to be substituted by Juventus, and Zhang Shujie remained on the bench and did not play. If Conte had expected Juventus to concede in the end, he would not have used up his substitutions early.

After the game, Conte admitted that he was a little overbearing, underestimated ******, and replaced Li Mu and other offensive players early, which was also one of the few miscalculations in Conte's decision-making. In the last five rounds, Juventus has only scored 7 points with one win and four draws, although it is also "undefeated", but this "undefeated" is a bit embarrassing.

With 11 rounds left in the league, Juventus are still behind AC Milan, and the Bianconeri want to win the title, so they can't afford to make mistakes in the remaining games, and they also have to pay attention to AC Milan's record.

March 14, Dammam, eastern Saudi Arabia.

On the court, Tang Ling raised his arms excitedly and shouted, and the Chinese fans on the scene shouted for him. This is the last game of Group A of the Asian Qualifiers for the London Olympic Games, played by the Chinese Olympic team against the Saudi Arabian Olympic team, the game has been carried out in the 77th minute, China 1:0 Saudi Arabia, and the player who scored the goal was Tang Ling.

Although the Chinese Olympic team has qualified ahead of schedule, fans also hope that the players can play a beautiful game in the closing match of the qualifiers, the "midfield twins" and Ma Junqiang still have not returned to the team, but the Chinese team still relied on a corner kick opportunity, Tang Ling's header scored.

It was the only goal of the game, and since then the Chinese Olympic team has advanced to London with a record of six games, five wins and one draw and 16 points, and the other two group winners are Australia and Japan, both of which are directly into the main round of the Olympic Games.

In addition, South Korea, Iraq and Syria will play a three-round play to determine the 0.5 places in the competition, with the winner representing Asia and the winner of the African play-offs competing for the final spot. But none of this has anything to do with the Chinese Olympic team.

An Rong and Song Weifeng sat in the café of the hotel, and the team members were moving freely. The Olympic qualifiers were all over, and I thought everyone would sleep until noon, but I didn't expect the team members to wake up early, probably because they were too excited to fall asleep. An Rong also simply told them to move around, but they couldn't go too far, they had to come back before noon, and they would return to China in the afternoon.

Many Chinese fans gathered outside the hotel to ask the players for autographs. An Rong looked at Tang Ling and Huang Yu from a distance, and suddenly said to Song Weifeng: "Old Song, do you have any opinions on Huang Yu, Tang Ling, Liang Xiran and Liu Jianwei?"

"Opinion?" Song Weifeng said: "These four children are very good, with distinctive characteristics, and among the young players in China, they are the most capable in their respective positions." ”

"So which one do you like the most?"

Song Weifeng frowned, and then said: "As far as my feelings are concerned, I am most optimistic about Liang Xiran, followed by Huang Yu, and then Tang Ling...... Liu Jianwei...... It's hard to say. ”

"Why?"

"First of all, the first three are all defenders, Liang Xiran is the most traditional central defender, loyal to the backfield, and has good defensive ability, the goalkeeper likes to have such a defender in front of him, so that the defense can be guaranteed, but unfortunately there are not many such defenders now. Tang Ling and Huang Yu belong to the 'offensive guards', and in today's rampant offensive football, it is not a strange thing to ask defenders to 'bring knives', and these two players have done it. ”

"What about Liu Jianwei?"

"According to the current environment, Liu Jianwei is on the verge of elimination, and only a few teams are still using such a center, and they still use this kind of center as a cover, not the first firepower point of the offense. What's more......"

"What is it?"

"He was born at the wrong time. ”

"Oh?" An Rong smiled and deliberately asked, "What do you say?"

"It was his luck that he was born in China, because China has not had such a strong center for a long time, but it was also his misfortune because he met Zhang Shujie and Li Mu. ”

An Rong didn't interject, and Song Weifeng continued: "Liu Jianwei's ability to hold the ball cannot be compared with Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, but now the mainstream tactics of football require the striker to take the ball, and the stronger the team, the more so, Liu Jianwei is a little bit worse." Once Zhang and Li return to the team, he can only be a substitute for the two, or, as a cannon fodder, covering the two, so that his goal count will inevitably decline. ”

Song Weifeng paused for a while, and then said: "Modern football has higher and higher requirements for offensive players, and even Zhao Wenkang, who used to only play right midfield, has begun to adapt to the back in Setúbal. Zhao Wenkang is still like this as a midfielder, let alone Liu Jianwei as a striker?"

An Rong couldn't help nodding as he listened: "Old Song, you think the same as me, among these four people, Liu Jianwei may have the least achievements in the future, but I can't ignore him because of this, he is better than many domestic forwards after all." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I want them to go abroad and play in Europe. When the Olympics were over, I tried to get them to find a new agent and take full control of their transfers. ”

Song Weifeng asked tentatively: "Director An, have you already chosen an agent for them?"

"There's a candidate. Feng Kai, that is, Zhang Shujie's agent, is currently a Chinese player who has gone from the high school league to Europe, all of whom are under his command. and Ma Junqiang too. ”

"It's a good idea, but it's also a hassle to change agents. ”

"I know that I don't need to rush this time, my idea is to do it in less than a year. But I'm still worried about one thing, not many of these players can go abroad, and I feel that just the four of them have this opportunity, and the other players will ......."

An Rong didn't finish his words, but Song Weifeng understood what it meant.

What kind of fate can the 20-odd members of the current national Olympic team have after the Olympic Games? An Rong is right, except for those four, it is difficult for the other team members to be so lucky to get the opportunity to go to Europe for training, and most of them can only return to their original clubs. How much development can there be if you can stay in the country?

Is Chinese football really lacking genius? Li Huayun had already given the correct answer when he was born, but he never went to Europe, so he could only wander around in China, spending his aura day after day and year after year.

An Rong and Song Weifeng only hope that these children will not repeat the mistakes of the past and will be able to get ahead.

Liang Xiran walked outside and came back, and when he walked to the door, he was stopped by two female fans and asked him to sign his autograph, he smiled and took the jersey handed by the two and wrote his name. One of the girls said, "Can you write a few more words?"

"Write a few more sentences?" Liang Xiran didn't know what to write, so he thought about it before he started writing.

What he wrote was: May Chinese football go to the world as soon as possible!
