At the subsequent award ceremony, the president of the International Tennis Association not only congratulated Zhang Huasong on his achievements, but also retained Zhang Huasong again, hoping that Zhang Huasong would not quit the tennis world. Flash Dance.

It can be seen from the ratings of this US Open that the tennis world with Zhang Huasong and without Zhang Huasong have very different global attention and ratings.

Zhang Huasong's name guaranteed at the box office is not in vain.

But how could Zhang Huasong, who had already won all the honors, still waste time in the tennis world? No matter how much he won, his tennis achievements have already reached the peak, and no matter how many championships he wins, it will not make much difference.

Only football, the world's No. 1 sport, which he has not yet set foot in, can gain more popularity and popularity, and accumulate popularity for winning the first place among international superstars.

Therefore, Zhang Huasong just smiled and listened to the chairman of the International Tennis Association, but he never responded.

There is no response, which already shows Zhang Huasong's attitude.

The chairman of the Tennis Association can only regret to step aside, regretting that the tennis world has lost Zhang Huasong, the king of tennis and the world's No. 1 box office appeal.

Zhang Huasong, on the other hand, held high the US Open Grand Slam championship trophy and completed his achievement of reaching the highest peak in tennis history in the bright flashes of media reporters.

Afterwards, Zhang Huasong took the microphone and delivered a short acceptance speech, thanking his fans for their support of him, and announced that he would say goodbye to tennis and track and field, and would switch to football in the future, starting his football career from Atletico Madrid.

Zhang Huasong's speech made countless tennis fans sad. Even if they are not fans of Zhang Huasong, those neutral fans who love tennis are sad for the loss of such a superstar as Zhang Huasong in the tennis world.

Many people could not help but shed tears of sadness.

However, there are many more people who support Zhang Huasong.

Because, Zhang Huasong's tennis and track and field careers have indeed reached the top. Zhang Huasong continued, but he just repeated his process of winning the championship over and over again.

Football, on the other hand, is a brand new adventure.

Not to mention the cheers of those football fans for Zhang Huasong's switch to football, even some fans of Zhang Huasong, who didn't like football, also have a curious mentality about Zhang Huasong's switch to football, and want to see if Zhang Huasong, known as the all-round king, can still achieve world-renowned achievements after cross-border football.

After the award ceremony, major media around the world quickly reported the big news of Zhang Huasong's victory at the US Open with headlines.

Zhang Huasong's achievements in the tennis world alone are worth mentioning. What's more, there is also his decision to say goodbye to tennis and track and field after the US Open.

"The US Open Grand Slam is over, Zhang Huasong won the championship to complete the annual Golden Slam and become the king of tennis!"

"Golden Slam of the Year, Golden Master of the Year, 5 Grand Slam Champions, Zhang Huasong became the first person in the history of tennis!"

"Zhang Huasong's last tennis match, winning the championship at the US Open and becoming the king of tennis!"

"Zhang Huasong won the U.S. Open and became the king of tennis, in the future, we can only watch Zhang Huasong's football game!"

The world-renowned U.S. Open and the overwhelming news reports after the match made Zhang Huasong's popularity and popularity skyrocket again.

The day after the U.S. Open, Zhang Huasong surpassed Tom Hanks in the international celebrity popularity list, ranking third behind Madonna and Oprah Winfrey.

Although Zhang Huasong announced that he would switch to football after the US Open, of course, it is impossible to report to Atletico Madrid right away.

Although Atletico Madrid's fans are already excited and anticipating, Zhang Huasong still has a lot to deal with.

The ranking and popularity of the third place of tennis kings and international superstars make Zhang Huasong's commercial value higher.

After the end of the U.S. Open, countless domestic and foreign super brands came to Zhang Huasong for endorsement. Old brands that used to endorse also need to upgrade their endorsement fees, reshoot advertisements, or end their cooperation.

Zhang Huasong's appearance in Atletico Madrid club and football is still a few days away.

However, although Zhang Huasong has not yet reported to Atletico Madrid, Zhang Huasong has already had a strong influence on Atletico Madrid.

You must know that Zhang Huasong's identity was the owner, e, and president of Atletico Madrid Club before.

No one expected that Zhang Huasong would become a player and be registered by the club in the team's list of registered players for the new season.

Fans may have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the world's superstars, but the team's players were stunned.

Although in an interview, Atletico Madrid's players said that it was an unprecedented new experience to be able to fight side by side with President Zhang as the boss, and welcomed it.

But in fact, Zhang Huasong's entry into the team's player list as the owner has brought far more psychological impact to the players than it appears to be as calm as it seems.

At the very least, in the dressing room, the players will no longer be able to talk about the club and the owner as unscrupulously as before.

Because, the boss will go directly into the locker room as a player, train and play with them, and the locker room is no secret to the boss.

It's like an ordinary worker working in a factory, who originally just went to work and got off work step by step every day, occasionally being lazy and chatting with his co-workers. Flash Dance.

As a result, now the boss has gone to the front line and gone to work every day with ordinary workers. Under the eyes of the boss, everyone no longer dares to be lazy, dare not chat and fart, and dare not talk about the factory and the boss's gossip.

It feels so bad!

Such a psychological impact made Atletico Madrid easily defeated by Levante 3-0 in the first round of the league on August 20.

Last season's dignified league runner-up and Europa League champion, the whole game was like sleepwalking, being pressed and beaten by Levante, losing without any temper, and ushered in a big defeat in the first league game of the new season.

After the game, in the dressing room, head coach Diego Simeone blasted the players, and all the players were scolded by Simeone.

After a season in charge, Simeone's iron-fisted approach and character have even scared the players. Of course, Simeone's level of coaching and last season's results have also convinced the players.

Simeone bluntly said that if anyone has a ghost in their heart, feels pressured and awkward to play with the owner, then bring it up immediately.

Anyway, the summer transfer period doesn't end until August 3, and he can immediately put those who want to leave on the transfer market and transfer away.

Naturally, no one answered: who wants to admit that they have a ghost in their hearts, dare not play football with the boss, and want to escape the team as a deserter?

If this is passed out, even if the transfer leaves, there will be no face to face new teammates and fans.

Besides, now that Atletico Madrid has a rich owner, a high-level coach, and is in a strong upward period, who wants to leave easily?

Therefore, the players who were scolded by Simeone gradually figured it out. Anyway, they didn't do anything to be sorry for the club, and they weren't afraid that President Zhang would go to the front line to train and play with them and understand their daily life.

On the other hand, if they can perform well in training and games, and they can be known by the boss as soon as possible, it may be easier to negotiate a contract and salary increase in the future.

Thinking about it this way, everyone gradually let go of the initial psychological impact of this incident on everyone.

In the second round of the league on August 28, after more than a week of psychological adjustment and buffering, the players gradually recovered their spirits and won 2-0 against the visiting Athletic Bilbao with a score of 2-0 in the cheers of the Calderón home fans, and finally did not lose two in a row.

Atletico's third league fixture was postponed to 27 September at the start of September, before the team flew to Monaco at the end of August to play last season's UEFA Super Cup as last season's Europa League winners against last season's Champions League winners Chelsea.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup with a 4-4 victory over Chelsea. It seems that the players have shaken off the psychological shock that President Zhang is about to join the team as a player.

After the UEFA Super Cup, UEFA held a draw for the 202/203 Champions League group stage in Monaco.

Atletico Madrid continued their good fortune in beating Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, as the second-tier team to win the Europa League twice in three years were drawn from Group B, alongside seeded Premier League side Arsenal, Greek side Olympiacos and Ligue 1 side Montpellier.

As soon as the draw results came out, Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo and team coach Diego Simeone who participated in the draw ceremony immediately high-fived each other, and Atletico Madrid fans who watched the live broadcast of the draw ceremony in front of the TV also cheered.

It's a good signing for Atletico. In addition to Arsenal, Olympiacos and Montpellier will have a hard time causing problems for Atletico.

If nothing else, this group is Atletico Madrid and Arsenal who qualify together, and Olympiacos and Montpellier are basically playing soy sauce.

After the draw for the Champions League group stage, international football entered the national team break, the national football leagues were collectively suspended, and Atletico's next game will be at home to Rayo Vallecano on September 5.

In fact, Rayo Vallecano is also a team in the capital Madrid, and the match with Atletico Madrid can be called a Madrid derby.

It's just that Rayo Vallecano is too weak and has no comparison with the derbies of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Therefore, neither the media nor the fans call the match between Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid a derby, it is just an ordinary league.

On September 5, Zhang Huasong's US Open matches have ended, and some Atletico Madrid fans can't wait to welcome Zhang Huasong, the biggest "newcomer" player in football history.

This is much more fresh than Zhang Huasong's entry into Atletico Madrid as the owner.

However, the fans' urgency was not satisfied, because Zhang Huasong had too many things to deal with.

Advertising endorsements, commercial performances, charity activities, officialdom entertainment, studio affairs, Feixun Group affairs, etc., Zhang Huasong needs a while to deal with the backlog.

Fortunately, Zhang Huasong's identity is different now, he is super-rich, not just a sports star.

As a result, many of the previous advertising endorsements have been canceled. If the new advertisement is not for the international brand Zhang Huasong, he will not accept it, so as not to lower his style.

At the same time, commercial performances and officialdom entertainment are also because of Zhang Huasong's rich status and status, so that Zhang Huasong does not have to be careful about socializing with corporate tycoons or officials like ordinary celebrities.

When Zhang Huasong doesn't want to go, he can directly refuse, without fear of offending anyone and affecting his income and future.

The identity of the rich man added a protective cover to Zhang Huasong.

When Zhang Huasong returned to China from the Stars and Stripes Country and began to deal with his own affairs, on September, the fourth round of the Asian Top 10 of the World Preliminary Championships officially began.

In this round of the World Preliminaries, the Huaguo team will play away against the Dongying team, which is ranked first in Group B, and will usher in the real test of Otto the Great.

Although they have defeated Costa Rica, Honduras and other teams in the warm-up matches, in the official world preliminaries, Rehhagel's Chinese team has not played against a team ranked higher than the Chinese national team.

This away game against Dongying can be said to be a real test for Otto the Great's Chinese national team.

The other match to be played at the same time will be Jordan's home game against Australia, with Oman having a bye.

After 90 minutes, the Chinese team's away match against Dongying disappointed domestic fans: the Chinese team lost 0-0 away to Dongying, losing this crucial game, and it was also Rehhagel's first defeat since taking charge of the Chinese national team.

As soon as the Chinese team lost, many people immediately began to complain about the "familiar formula, familiar taste", thinking that the national football team was originally a dou who could not be supported, even if Otto the Great was invited, it would not work, and he would not be able to win against the Dongying team.

However, with the first two victories in the top 20 and top 10, Rehhagel still gained a lot of support and understanding.

Although some people complained, most media and fans still felt that the Huaguo team's loss to Dongying away from home was not an unacceptable result. After all, the strength of the Huaguo team is weaker than that of the Dongying team, and it is normal to lose away from home.

Of course, what makes the media and fans more rational is not only because they feel that it is normal for the Chinese team to lose to the Dongying team, but also because of another game at the same time, the Jordan team, which has accumulated 0 points in three rounds, broke out at home and defeated Australia with a score of 2-, which can be regarded as helping the Chinese team drag down the pace of Australia catching up with the points.

While the second-ranked Chinese team lost, the third-ranked Australia did not win to catch up, but lost to Jordan, which made the Chinese media and fans breathe a sigh of relief.

After the fourth round of the top 10 matches in the Asian zone of the Brazil World Cup qualifiers, the Dongying team in Group B ranked first with 0 points and 0 goal difference, the Chinese team ranked second with 5 points and 5 goal difference, the Jordan team ranked third with 3 points - 7 goal difference, Australia ranked fourth with 2 points - goal difference, and the Oman team ranked bottom with points - 7 goal difference.

Four rounds have been played, with Asia's No. 1 Australia only finishing fourth in the group, and Group B deserves the title of Group of Death.

At present, the Dongying team has been unbeatable, and there is no difficulty in qualifying. The second place in Group B is basically between China, Jordan and Australia.

The Huaguo team, which is currently ranked second in the group, looks like it has a good chance.

Perhaps, the Chinese team can really break through from the group of death under the leadership of Otto the Great and break into the World Cup finals again after 2002.
