Chapter 419: Madrid Derby
In the 88th minute of the Jordanian team's foul, Zhang Huasong was just pulled by the opponent and fell to the ground, but he was not injured.
Therefore, after being allowed by the referee to change into a shirt on the sidelines, Zhang Huasong stood behind the service point, ready to take the free kick himself.
The fans in the stands shouted slogans such as "President Zhang kicks in", "one more in", "hat trick" and so on, cheering for Zhang Huasong.
The opponent's bad foul that even Zhang Huasong's jersey was torn out was really unbearable, and the fans hoped that Zhang Huasong would teach the other party a lesson with his free kick.
Zhang Huasong did have a fire in his heart.
Even his clothes were torn, and he went to the sidelines to change his clothes before the game ended, which made him a little annoyed.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong has made up his mind that this ball will be scored no matter what.
Fouls, clashes, jersey changes, etc., the time has come to the 90th minute, and the fourth official has raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time, and time is running out.
After the referee's whistle, Zhang Huasong looked at the wall, goalkeeper, goal, etc., and then began to run.
After three steps, Zhang Huasong stood still with his left foot, his upper body tilted, and the instep of his right foot kicked the ball hard.
The ball flew diagonally upwards and arced over the top of the wall to quickly drill into the top left corner of the goal.
Although the goalkeeper of the Jordanian team, who was originally standing at the far end of the goal, guessed that Zhang Huasong would cross the wall to hit the near corner, Zhang Huasong's ball angle was too accurate, almost a theoretical dead corner.
Therefore, even if he ran early and saved, he couldn't get to the ball.
Zhang Huasong finally completed his hat trick on his national team debut with this free kick.
The moment the ball goes into the net, there is no one sitting in the stands. All the fans jumped and jumped excitedly, cheering for Zhang Huasong's hat trick and the big victory of the national team.
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Chinese team defeated the Jordan team with a score of 5-1 at home, achieving the most hearty victory since the top 10 match.
With a 45-minute hat-trick, Zhang Huasong naturally became the best man of the game, and was sought after and interviewed by reporters at the post-match press conference.
Zhang Huasong admitted frankly that he and his teammates in the national team have not yet formed a tacit understanding.
When he participates in more competitions and forms more tacit understanding with his teammates in the national team, the strength of the national team will reach a higher level.
As for the goal of the current national team, there is no doubt about qualifying for the World Cup. Moreover, it must be a direct qualification, and it is a failure to win the third place and play in the play-offs.
Rehhagel also bluntly said that with the Chinese team after Zhang Huasong, there is no problem in qualifying for the top 10 and entering the World Cup in Brazil.
The 5-1 victory and the words of Zhang Huasong and Rehhagel in the post-match press conference have excited the Chinese media and fans.
This time, no one criticized the players and coaches of the Chinese team for bragging and talking big.
Because, anyone can conclude that the Chinese team has no problem qualifying from the performance of the Chinese team under Rehhagel and the performance of Zhang Huasong in this game.
And the Oman team vs Japan match that ended later made fans across the country cheer.
Oman, despite their desperate efforts to win at home, failed to pull off a miracle in the end, losing 1-2 to Japan.
The main competitors of the Chinese team are not the Japanese team, which has been unbeaten, but the teams of Oman, Australia, Jordan and other teams behind.
As long as the Chinese team ensures that they finish second in Group B, they can directly enter the main match of the World Cup finals in Brazil with the top two results in the top 10 group.
First-placed Japan beat third-placed Oman to hold back Oman's pursuit of points, which was the most desirable result for China, who were second in Group B.
After the sixth round of the top 10, Japan leads the Group B standings with 13 points and 11 goal difference, China ranks second with 10 points and 9 goal difference, Oman ranks third with 4 points to 7 goal difference, Australia ranks fourth with 3 points to 1 goal difference, and Jordan ranks fifth with 3 points and 12 goal difference.
Because the Chinese team won in this round, the Oman team lost, and the third-ranked Oman team was 6 points away from the Chinese team.
With 4 rounds left in the top 10 and the top two directly qualified, the Chinese team is in a good situation.
Even if the Chinese team has a bye in the next round and the Oman team wins, it still can't catch up, and the situation is very favorable to the Chinese team.
In the heated discussion of the people across the country, Zhang Huasong flew back to Spain by plane to prepare for the La Liga game.
On November 18, in the 12th round of La Liga, Granada VS Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid played away.
In this game, Zhang Huasong was put on the bench because of the long journey of the national team.
Until the 65th minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid did not score, and when the two sides were still 0-0, Simeone finally replaced Zhang Huasong on the field.
And Zhang Huasong did not disappoint.
In just 25 minutes, Zhang Huasong scored a brace with a header and a free-kick to increase his league goal to 15 and bring Atletico a 2-0 away victory.
After the 12th round of La Liga, Barcelona is still in first place in the La Liga standings, with Atletico Madrid one point behind in second place.
On the scorer list, Zhang Huasong surpassed Ronaldo, who scored 14 goals, and ranked second on the scorer list. There are still 3 goals away from the first-ranked Messi, Zhang Huasong, which is a hat trick gap.
Looking at Zhang Huasong's terrifying goal efficiency, it seems that Zhang Huasong has signs of surpassing Messi at any time. Even though Messi's goal efficiency is more than one goal per game, it still doesn't make people feel safe.
It's really Zhang Huasong's goal efficiency that is too terrifying, unprecedented.
After the 12th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid flew to Athens, Greece, to prepare for the fifth round of the Champions League group stage against Olympiacos.
Before this round of matches, Atletico Madrid had accumulated 12 points to qualify early, and Olympiacos and Arsenal were still snatching the second qualifying place with six points.
Because there is also a direct dialogue between Arsenal and Olympiacos in the final round. Therefore, no matter how they play, Atletico Madrid, who have accumulated 12 points, occupy at least one qualifying spot and qualify early.
However, in order to ensure the first place in the group, avoid drawing other group winners in the knockout draw, Atletico Madrid will not release water in the fifth round of the game, and still have to go all out to win and lock the first place in the group.
Thus, Olympiacos was tragic.
Even playing at home, they failed to withstand Atletico Madrid's attack.
Zhang Huasong started the game and scored a hat-trick and assisted Costa to score a goal. In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Olympiacos 4-0 away from home.
Arsenal took advantage of the opportunity to win over Montpellier to open up a three-point gap on Olympiacos and make up a clean sheet.
A draw against Olympiacos in the final round of fixtures would see Arsenal finish second in the group.
Even if they lose, as long as they don't lose by a big score, Arsenal will qualify with a goal difference, and Arsenal finally hold the initiative to qualify.
Either way, though, Arsenal and Olympiacos will have to fight for second place in the group.
Because, after the away victory over Olympiacos, Atletico Madrid has locked the first place in the group with 15 points in advance, and even if Atletico Madrid loses and Arsenal wins in the final round, Arsenal is still 3 points behind Atletico Madrid.
Therefore, Atletico Madrid's home game against Montpellier in the final round has become an inconsequential chicken rib game.
At the same time, Zhang Huasong's 7 Champions League goals also made him temporarily top of the Champions League scorer list this season.
Zhang Huasong and his team are soaring on all fronts.
Back in La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosts Sevilla on 25 November.
After more than one month of training and competition, Zhang Huasong gradually cooperated with his teammates.
In this game, Sevilla strictly defended Zhang Huasong's breakthrough and shot. As a result, Zhang Huasong did not score many goals and only scored one free kick.
However, he scored a hat-trick of assists in this game: he assisted Falcao, Costa and Sergio Aguero to score a goal each.
Under the leadership of Zhang Huasong, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-0 at home, and continued to bite Barcelona in the La Liga standings, waiting for Barcelona to make a mistake.
Zhang Huasong, who can break through, dribble, pass, shoot, head the ball, take free kicks, pass, and assist teammates to score, makes all opponents who face him more and more headaches.
On 26 November, Atletico Madrid took a day off to prepare for the second leg of the Copa del Rey 1/16 final on 28 November.
With Atletico winning 3-0 away at Hahn in the first leg, there is little suspense about promotion, plus the next league game is a local derby against Real Madrid.
Therefore, in the 1/16 final of the Copa del Rey with Hahn, Simeone put most of the main players on the bench, including Zhang Huasong.
In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Hahn 1-0 at home with a substitute lineup to advance to the next round of the Copa del Rey, and Zhang Huasong did not even get a minute of playing time in this game.
Atletico Madrid's main line-up, which has been rested for one game, will travel to the Bernabeu on December 1 for a derby match with Real Madrid.
The Madrid derby, consisting of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the three most successful teams in Spain, is known as a war between the nobility and the commoners, with a long history and fierce battles.
In the city of Madrid, the royal family, the aristocracy, and the white-collar workers support Real Madrid, while the heads of government, the workers, and the common people support Atletico Madrid.
In terms of the number of fans in the city, Atletico Madrid, where the bottom people are the majority, is naturally the complete explosion of Real Madrid.
But in terms of historical record and world popularity, Real Madrid, the best club of the century, is naturally also a complete blow to Atletico Madrid.
Last season, even though Atletico Madrid won the UEFA Cup and finished second in La Liga, they were still beaten by Real Madrid in two Madrid derbies in the league, which made Atletico Madrid fans accumulate countless anger points.
This season, Atletico Madrid's forward line has been more tacit and more attacking. In the middle of the way, Zhang Huasong was added as a goal machine, and he has maintained a winning streak of more than ten games on all fronts, and fans have a high demand for revenge for the team in the derby.
Even if it's an away game!
For Simeone and Zhang Huasong, it is natural that they also hope to win in the same city derby.
Simeone's side were beaten twice by Real Madrid last season, and Zhang Huasong's acquisition of Atletico Madrid has not yet been recognized by all Atletico Madrid fans.
Only by beating their rivals in the same city derby will they be able to win more fan recognition.
On November 29, Real Madrid's number one superstar Cristiano Ronaldo said in an interview that Real Madrid is the undisputed boss in the city of Madrid. He will use his goal in the Madrid derby on December 1 to tell Atletico fans that football is not something that can be made into a big club by changing owners!
The implication is that even if Atletico Madrid replaces Zhang Huasong, the rich boss, it still can't become a giant, and it still can't shake the status of Real Madrid.
In his words, he also had a lot of disdain for Zhang Huasong! It's just that because Zhang Huasong's status in the sports world is too high, Ronaldo didn't directly call Zhang Huasong's name!
After Ronaldo's interview report came out, a reporter ran to ask Zhang Huasong, and Zhang Huasong said that Ronaldo was right, football is indeed not something that can become a giant by changing the owner.
However, Atletico Madrid can go to the big club by beating their city rivals Real Madrid. The Madrid derby on December 1 is the first step on Atletico's road to giants!
Naturally, this kind of pre-match war of words is definitely indispensable to Mourinho.
This madman, who is known as his second under God, has always been a favorite of media reporters!
After leading Real Madrid to a record 100 points to win the league title last season, Mourinho has put Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas on the bench this season, causing serious shocks in the dressing room and is still 10 points behind Atletico in the table.
Reporters interviewed Mourinho with the mentality of watching jokes, to see what he thought of Real Madrid's current points gap with Atletico Madrid and Zhang Huasong's performance.
Naturally, madmen will not show weakness.
Jose Mourinho says his Galaxy is on the right track, winning their most recent matches.
Just because Atletico are leading now doesn't mean they're always ahead. In terms of championship experience, Atletico Madrid is 108,000 miles behind Real Madrid!
He is confident that he will continue to put pressure on Atletico in the later games, let Atletico fall behind, and finally complete the comeback against Barcelona.
This season, he has to defend the league title!
It's typical of a dead duck with a hard beak!
Real Madrid are now 10 points behind Atletico and 11 points behind Barcelona.
If you want to say that a team makes a mistake and Real Madrid surpasses it, everyone is still skeptical. But if Atletico Madrid and Barcelona make mistakes at the same time, Real Madrid will surpass them all and defend the league championship, basically no one believes it!
As for Zhang Huasong, Mourinho said that Zhang Huasong is very strong, but Zhang Huasong, who has just entered football, still has many shortcomings, and he has found a way to limit Zhang Huasong.
He will leave Zhang Huasong inactive at the Bernabeu and give Atletico Madrid another taste of derby defeat.
Mourinho's words left reporters and fans skeptical.
The madman always has some unexpected moves and tactics, I don't know if he really found a way to restrain Zhang Huasong.
However, Mourinho's words still made the media and fans look forward to it. In particular, the coaches and players of other teams are quite concerned about whether Mourinho can really limit Zhang Huasong.
If Mourinho can really limit Zhang Huasong, who is a goal machine after cross-border football, it will also be an inspiration for other teams.
Countless people are looking forward to the Madrid derby!
