Chapter 424: Bloodbath Galatasaray
The 2015 Asian Cup in Australia is the 16th Asian Cup, and the top three in the last Asian Cup, Japan, Australia and South Korea automatically qualified for the finals.
In addition to these three teams, 22 of the remaining 42 AFC member associations are ranked lower to compete in the AFC Challenger Cup, and the winners can directly qualify for the Asian Cup finals in Australia.
In addition to the teams that qualify directly and those who qualify for the Challenger Cup, the remaining 20 member associations of the AFC will be divided into five groups to determine the remaining 11 tickets to the finals through qualifiers.
The top two teams from the five qualifying groups advance directly, with the best third-place finishers getting the final ticket. (The original history of the Chinese team was through the best third place to get the promotion place)
The Chinese team and Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Indonesia are in Group C in the Asian Cup qualifiers, and the qualifiers officially start on February 6.
On 6 February 2013, Iraq defeated Indonesia 1-0 at home at a neutral venue.
On February 7, it was the turn of the Chinese team and the Saudi team.
At the Prince Fahd Stadium in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, the Saudi team launched an offensive style of play at home, hoping to defeat the Chinese team and achieve the first victory of the qualifiers.
Saudi Arabia, which was aggressively pressuring the attack, scored 2 goals for the Chinese team.
However, the Chinese team has Zhang Huasong. It is an away game, and the opponent takes the initiative to attack, and his overall tactics are also defensive counterattacks.
As a result, at the Prince Fahd Stadium, the Chinese team scored 4 goals through efficient defensive counterattacks.
After scoring a hat-trick against Jordan in the last 10 match, Zhang Huasong scored another hat-trick and assisted the remaining goal.
The Chinese team defeated Saudi Arabia 4-2 away, beating Iraq by goal difference and temporarily ranking first in the Group C standings.
Zhang Huasong, who scored a hat trick in two consecutive national team games, has naturally become an idol worshiped by fans across the country, and Zhang Huasong's popularity in China is still rising.
After the away match with Saudi Arabia, Zhang Huasong could not return to China with his teammates in the national team for the Spring Festival, because on the first day of the first lunar month, Atletico Madrid still had an away league game.
Zhang Huasong didn't want to put himself above the team, and didn't even play for the Spring Festival, which caused a bad impact on other players.
Therefore, after the Asian Cup qualifiers with the Saudi team, Zhang Huasong flew back to Madrid and did not return to China with the national team for the New Year.
On February 9, China's Chinese New Year's Eve, Atletico Madrid did not train normally.
Zhang Huasong, as the owner and player, invited all the staff, players and coaches of Atletico Madrid Club to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Madrid's Chinatown, and invited the local Chinese community performance team to bring a characteristic Chinese song and dance performance.
Shu Yufei was not in China, but accompanied Zhang Huasong to spend this Chinese New Year's Eve with the team in Spain.
Singing and dancing performances with Chinese characteristics and delicious Chinese food, as well as dragon and lion dances on the streets, all excited the whole Atletico team.
However, because the next day was due to the game, the players did not drink alcohol, but just ate the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Chinese characteristics.
After a night with Chinese characteristics, on February 10, the day of the Chinese New Year, Atletico Madrid played Rayo Vallecano away in the 23rd round of La Liga.
This game, including Zhang Huasong, may have been affected by yesterday's Chinese New Year's Eve party, and the game was a little out of shape.
In the end, although Zhang Huasong scored a free kick, Atletico were held to a 2-2 draw by Rayo Vallecano away.
Since the second round of the league, Atletico Madrid finally stopped their winning streak in the league and were held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano, a small team in the same Madrid region.
After the game, Rayo Vallecano's players, coaches and fans were as excited as the Chinese New Year.
Today's La Liga, if you don't count the Copa del Rey, can draw Atletico Madrid, which has Zhang Huasong and the main force in the league, and they are the first team.
Therefore, it is totally worth their celebration for a draw.
In particular, everyone is a team from the Madrid region, and although Atletico Madrid did not treat them as derby rivals, they did treat Atletico as derby rivals.
The draw brought Barcelona, who beat Getafe 6-1 at home in the same league round, to close the gap of two points and only five points away from Atletico Madrid.
However, the whole Atletico team didn't care.
They all know that this draw is not a reflection of their true strength, but the whole team participated in the Chinese-style New Year activities organized by President Zhang on the first day.
Even if they were forced into a draw, they were still five points ahead of Barcelona. With their form this season, Barcelona will not be given more chances to catch up with points in the future.
However, other media and fans don't see it that way.
The happiest are naturally the media and fans of Barcelona, who believe that the successive victories some time ago have bred a feeling of pride and underestimation in Atletico Madrid.
With the next day to participate in the league, the whole team has to go to Chinatown to participate in the so-called Chinese New Year dinner, and watch theatrical performances until the early hours of the morning before returning to rest.
Obviously, this kind of emotion is a manifestation of lack of foundation and pride and contempt for the enemy.
As long as there is this emotion, Atletico are not far from collapse.
As for other media and fans, they also think that this behavior of the whole team is a sign of pride and contempt. Perhaps, this draw with Rayo Vallecano is really a turning point for Barcelona and Malaysia to compete for the title this season.
What happened next made Atletico Madrid, especially Zhang Huasong, proud and underestimating the enemy's arguments.
Because, after the draw with Rayo Vallecano, Zhang Huasong flew back to China. Then, on February 14, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei jointly launched their new album "Fade" and held a book signing.
"Fade" is an electro-pure music song released as the title song of the album of the same name.
Then, there is also "Faded" after writing lyrics with Fade on the album, which was released as an English song sung by Shu Yufei.
This album has a total of 12 songs, and the other 10 songs are all Chinese songs.
Zhang Huasong's album basically maintains this configuration, with 10 Chinese songs consolidating fans in Zhang's native language, pure music and English songs breaking into the international market and competing for Grammy awards.
After the release of the "Fade" album, the pure music "Fade" really became popular all over the world like the last "Victory".
As an electronic music pure music that has become popular all over the world in parallel time and space, this "Fade" has been launched by Zhang Huasong, who is more famous on Blue Star, and it is even more sought after and welcomed by fans and fans around the world.
As for "Faded", which Zhang Huasong wrote lyrics based on pure music and Shu Yufei sang, he also attracted countless fans with his ethereal voice.
Zhang Huasong's new album "Fade" is naturally a great success, but the football media and fans think that this is Zhang Huasong's pride and carelessness for the next league game.
Most people believe that the release of a new album and the holding of a book signing will definitely involve Zhang Huasong's huge energy and physical strength.
Moreover, flying back and forth between Spain and China, inverting jet lag, even if Zhang Huasong is an iron man, will be greatly affected.
Even if Zhang Huasong's new album "Fade" is successful and a big hit, the impact on him on the football field will definitely be real.
Therefore, on February 17, the 24th round of La Liga Atletico Madrid's away match against Valladolid attracted much attention.
One is because Zhang Huasong's new album "Fade" just launched is a big hit and has attracted a lot of attention, and the other is that the media and fans want to see the performance of the whole Atletico Madrid team and Zhang Huasong, whether they are really proud and underestimate the enemy.
The media and fans of Barcelona, in particular, opened their eyes wide, hoping to see the first evidence of the sluggish performance of Zhang Huasong and the entire Atletico Madrid team.
However, Zhang Huasong and the whole Atletico Madrid team disappointed everyone.
In an away game in which not many of their fans cheered them on, Atletico scored a total of five goals against Valladolid and did not allow Valladolid to score a single goal.
Zhang Huasong scored a brace and an assist in this game, and it seemed that he was not affected by the last league draw and the back and forth between Spain and China for the signing of his new album, disappointing the Barcelona media and fans who wanted to see Atletico Madrid collapse.
Atletico Madrid continued to lead the La Liga table with a 5-0 thrashing away at Valladolid, while Barcelona won this round but failed to close the gap on points.
After playing an away match against Valladolid, the Atletico Madrid squad flew to Istanbul, Turkey, to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals away to Galatasaray.
Galatasaray returned to the Champions League after many years of absence from the Champions League and qualified from the group.
Facing Atletico Madrid with world-class superstar Zhang Huasong in the 1/8 finals, Galatasaray knows that the possibility of beating Atletico Madrid away from home is very slim, whether it is from the players, coaches, fans or media.
As a result, their hopes of beating Atletico Madrid and progressing to the last eight were pinned on the first leg at home. They will be hoping to take advantage of the Devils' home advantage and take a big lead in the first leg.
If you can kill the suspense in the first round, that's the best.
Before the game even started, the Ali Samyan Stadium, which had already been filled with fans, became a stage for the Turks to revel.
When the Atletico players came out to warm up, they unfurled huge "Welcome to Hell" banners in the stands, and they were played in Spanish and English, apparently specifically for the Atletico players and fans.
Away Atletico Madrid fans, with less than 100 people, were isolated and protected by the local police in a small grandstand area, like a boat in the sea, in danger of capsize at any time.
Zhang Huasong looked at the huge banner during the warm-up and smiled at his teammates next to him: "What do you think would be the reaction if we won them away?"
Aguero smiled: "I guess it's going to be like a thunderstorm, right?"
Falcao said: "That is definitely the most unacceptable result for them! Before the game, some Turkish media said that they would use home advantage to end the suspense of the two legs, and the implication was that they wanted to beat us at home. If they lose, it will definitely be the biggest blow to these fans. ”
Costa said fiercely: "No, just winning them is not the biggest blow to them! It is necessary to beat them and make them realize that their so-called hell, the so-called devil's home field, has no effect on us, and the biggest blow to these fanatical fans." ”
Zhang Huasong nodded and said, "Costa is right, let's do our best to capture this so-called hellish home stadium together, and let these Turkish fans shut up!"
Several others nodded, and Atletico's attackers were completely unanimous on the matter.
At 21 o'clock in the evening of February 20, local time, after the theme song of the Champions League, with the referee's whistle, the 2012/2013 Champions League 1/8 finals Galatasaray home match against Atletico Madrid officially began.
As soon as the game began, Galatasaray took advantage of their home advantage to launch a stormy attack on Atletico Madrid.
Although everyone knows that Atletico Madrid plays defensive counter-attacks, Zhang Huasong's counter-attacking speed is the best in the world. However, to end the suspense of promotion in the first leg, Galatasaray will not be able to play the same defensive counter-attack as Atletico.
They have no choice but to attack and try to score more goals.
No matter what the situation is, their choice to get the ball is attacking.
However, under the tutelage of Simeone, the former iron-blooded midfielder, the whole Atletico Madrid team is among the best in Europe in terms of defensive skills and hardness.
Mentally, it is at the forefront of Europe and will not be lower than the German team with the highest mental will. No matter how horrible the Turkish fans in the stands booed and cursed, it had little effect on the Atletico players on the field.
As a result, Galatasaray's attack not only failed to score, but was often interrupted by Atletico Madrid to take the opportunity to counterattack.
In the 4th minute, Zhang Huasong used his speed to intercept the opponent's pass and instigated a successful and efficient counterattack. After three passes, the ball fell to the feet of Costa, who shook off the angle and fired a shot into the net, which the Galatasaray goalkeeper could only watch as the ball went into the net.
Just four minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid were 1-0 up on the road.
Sure enough, when Atletico Madrid was ahead, the Turkish fans in the stands let out loud boos and scolding, venting their anger and dissatisfaction with Atletico Madrid.
However, the fans are not the players, and their boos and insults do not affect the determined Atletico Madrid players.
In the 9th minute, Zhang Huasong used continuous croquettes and oxtail and Marseille slalom to connect the three and send the ball into the dead corner of the goal.
Zhang Huasong scored the first goal to give Atletico a 2-0 lead away from home, and the Turks in the stands were even angrier.
However, Galatasaray continued to insist on attacking, and Atletico's counter-attacks and goals would not end.
In the 15th minute, Atletico Madrid won a free kick, and Zhang Huasong's free kick crossed a wonderful arc and flew into the net, giving Atletico a 3-0 lead.
At this time, some of the Turkish fans in the stands were silent, and there was no more boos or scolding: they were beaten.
In the 28th minute, one of Falcao's shots hit the crossbar, scaring the Turkish fans in the stands to the point that their hearts were almost beating out, but fortunately they didn't score.
However, they didn't rejoice for long, and in less than ten minutes, in the 37th minute, Zhang Huasong assisted Sergio Aguero to score Atletico's fourth goal.
Atletico were 4-0 up in the first half.
However, the goal was not over yet. In the 45th minute, Zhang Huasong won a free kick again. He sent a high-quality lift ball that left Galatasaray's goalkeeper unrecognizable.
In the end, the ball grazed his palm and flew into the net, and Zhang Huasong scored a hat-trick to give Atletico a 5-0 lead.
Atletico Madrid entered the dressing room with a 5-0 advantage, while Galatasaray's players and fans stared blankly and listlessly.
The Devil's home turf has become unimpressive.
In the second half, Atletico Madrid continued their efforts, Zhang Huasong scored 2 more goals, and other players scored 3 goals.
In the end, Zhang Huasong scored five yuan and assisted two goals, leading Atletico Madrid to a 10-0 bloody defeat of Galatasaray away, creating a bloody case for Galatasaray, known as the world's most terrifying home stadium.
Zhang Huasong and his Atletico Madrid's terrifying attack power made the whole of Europe tremble.
