Chapter 406: Top Ten Tournament Death Group
After receiving the Grammy Award, Zhang Huasong had a nearly month's break and will not participate in the Indian Wells Masters again until March 8.
During this time, in addition to signing a few new endorsements, Zhang Huasong also "planned" a variety show blind date program for a domestic provincial TV station: "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
In addition, a TV station asked Zhang Huasong to plan a music program, and Zhang Huasong provided them with the planning of "The Voice of China".
The two parallel time-space fire shows are different genres, and the broadcast times will also be staggered.
Presumably, when the two programs are broadcast, it will set off another wave of variety show frenzy and attract foreign TV stations to buy copyrights.
Of course, the prices for both shows are very high.
The TV station bought not only Zhang Huasong's creative planning skills, but also his super popularity ranking of the fourth international superstar.
In addition, Pan Xiaowen also gave Zhang Huasong a supporting role in a new domestic blockbuster movie, and it took a few days to shoot it when Zhang Huasong was free.
On February 29, in the final round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Qualifiers Asian Top 20 group stage, the Chinese team hosted Jordan in Yangcheng, Nanyue Province.
The Huaguo team, which had already qualified in advance, naturally played very relaxed, and used this game as a training match to practice defensive counterattacks and increase the game experience of substitute players.
The Jordan team fought hard to compete with the Iraqi team for the second qualifying spot, and finally scored a goal to draw 1-1 with the Chinese team, and the Chinese team suffered the first draw in the top 20.
However, the fans didn't care too much about this result, because everyone knew that the Huaguo team did not do their best.
As a result, the Jordanian team relied on this draw, with one point more points than the Iraqi team, grabbed a ticket to break into the top 10, and the Iraqi team was unfortunately out.
The draw for the round of 10 will take place on 9 March at the AFC headquarters in Malaysia, where the seeding and brackets will be determined based on the latest FIFA rankings, followed by the draw and grouping.
On March 7, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei flew to the Stars and Stripes Country to participate in the Indian Wells Masters from March 8 to March 18.
On March 9, the AFC held a draw ceremony for the top 10 of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil at its headquarters in Malaysia and announced the results.
Group A consists of South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Lebanon, while Group B consists of Australia, Dongying, China, Jordan and Oman.
B formed the group of death, gathering three strong teams from Australia, Dongying and Huaguo, and it was almost difficult for Jordan and Oman to qualify.
Australia, Dongying and Huaguo only have two qualifying places, and it is not easy for anyone to qualify directly.
In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, because of the South Korea-Japan World Cup, the Han team and the Dongying team directly qualified as the host, and the Chinese team lost two opponents.
In the end, when the draw was drawn, the Chinese team also drew a weaker group, and the Chinese team was able to enter the World Cup finals in a historic way, and the whole country rejoiced, which was regarded as the three major events of the year in China alongside the success of the Olympic bid and joining the TO.
As a result, after the official World Cup match began, the Chinese team went home without scoring a goal or scoring a point, losing face.
After the World Cup, some people said that the Chinese team relied on the South Korea and Japan World Cup to lose two competitors, and the World Cup was scored by the draw of the top 10 matches, which is not the real level of the Chinese team.
The humiliating performance at the World Cup proved this argument.
Therefore, many Chinese fans do not have good memories of the 2002 World Cup.
Many fans hope that the Chinese team can enter the World Cup with dignity, and then score a goal and score a point in the World Cup finals, and stop being as embarrassed as in 2002.
And the result of this draw is actually an opportunity.
If the Chinese team can break out of the group of death in the top 10, no one will say that the Chinese team will enter the World Cup without competitors and draws.
Of course, according to the analysis of the media, even if the Huaguo team enters the top 10 with an undefeated record in the top 20, it is not easy to qualify from the group of death.
Australia is a frequent participant in the World Cup, and its strength is the first in Asia, and the Dongying team is also stronger than the Chinese national team.
If it weren't for Zhang Huasong's world's highest salary to invite Otto the Great to coach the Huaguo team, and successfully transformed the Huaguo team, I am afraid that as soon as the group comes out, the domestic media will shout that it will be dead.
Even so, there is not much confidence in securing the top two spots in the group that will advance directly.
However, no matter what, Otto the Great's undefeated performance after taking office is still worth the expectation of the media and fans, and everyone has not completely lost confidence.
A few days after the draw for the top 10 tournament, Zhang Huasong's match at the Indian Wells Masters also ended.
Zhang Huasong went on to win his first Masters title of 2013 without any suspense.
From March 21st to April 1st, Zhang Huasong won the Miami Masters again.
After the Miami Masters, Zhang Huasong returned to China and spent more than a week filming the supporting role in the movie that Pan Xiaowen gave him.
This time, Zhang Huasong upgraded his performance to two levels, and his acting skills were much improved compared to the first time he participated in the movie, which surprised the crew director and other actors.
However, after the surprise, everyone didn't talk about it much, because everyone was no longer surprised by Zhang Huasong's omnipotence.
In addition, Zhang Huasong already has acting experience, so it is not surprising that Zhang Huasong has such superb acting skills.
After filming the supporting roles in the movie, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei flew to Europe to participate in the Monte Carlo Masters.
From April 15th to April 22nd, Zhang Huasong went all the way to the final 2-0, defeating Federer to win the Monte Carlo Masters championship.
Now, it is no longer news that Zhang Huasong won the tennis championship.
As long as he competes, the championship basically has no one else's share, and everyone else can only compete for the runner-up.
Zhang Huasong's dominance in the tennis world no longer needs to be explained and explained by the media, everyone is just waiting to witness Zhang Huasong's annual Golden Slam feat.
Although the next Madrid Tennis Masters will not start until May 6, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei flew to Madrid as soon as the Monte Carlo Masters awards ceremony ended.
Not to rush to prepare for the Madrid Masters, but to watch Atletico Madrid's La Liga match and cheer for Atletico Madrid.
In his first season at Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid overended Real Madrid and Barcelona's domination of La Liga under the leadership of Diego Simeone.
From the first round of the league, Simeone's Atletico Madrid has bitten Real Madrid and Barcelona to the death.
Although Real Madrid has been at the top of the table under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, Barcelona has not left Atletico Madrid, competing with Atletico for the second place in the standings, and has not been able to throw Atletico Madrid behind.
Until now, with five rounds left in La Liga, Atletico Madrid has taken second place in the standings with a one-point advantage, while Barcelona has fallen to third place.
As for fourth-place Valencia, there is a difference of more than 20 points with Barcelona, and it is no longer a concern, and Atletico Madrid have already qualified for next season's Champions League in advance.
Atletico are now five points away from Real Madrid at the top of the table, Barcelona are six points behind, and with five rounds left in the league, the race for the league title is not over.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong is going to the scene to cheer for his team.
On April 23, the day after Zhang Huasong won the Monte Carlo Masters, Atletico Madrid hosted Espanyol in Calderón.
Under the personal supervision of the owner, President Zhang, Atletico Madrid defeated Espanyol with a score of 4-1.
It's just that in the same round of the Spanish national derby, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid at home, and the difference between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid has not changed, it is still 5 points behind, and Atletico Madrid's hope of reversing the rival in the city to win the league championship is getting smaller and smaller.
On April 27, in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid played Valencia away, and Athletic Bilbao played Sporting Lisbon at home. La Liga teams account for three of the top four, and the final is likely to be a La Liga civil war.
Because in the first leg of the semi-finals on April 20, Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 4-2 at home and held a relatively large initiative.
As a result, after arriving at the away side, Atletico Madrid played a defensive counterattack without any burden, and Valencia could only be forced to attack.
In this game, Zhang Huasong also followed the team to Valencia to cheer for the players.
As a result, Atletico Madrid took advantage of Valencia's attacking flaws on the road and broke Valencia's goal with a counter-attack to end the game with a score of 1-0.
The final result was that Atletico Madrid eliminated Valencia 5-2 over two legs and advanced to the Europa League final.
In the other semi-final, Athletic Bilbao beat Sporting Lisbon 3-1 at home to knock out their opponents 4-3 over two legs to advance to the final.
The 2011/2012 Europa League final was a real La Liga civil war, with Atletico Madrid taking on Athletic Bilbao.
In addition, there are still 4 rounds of La Liga, although Real Madrid is 5 points behind, it still retains the possibility of competing for the league title.
Atletico Madrid, which was ranked fifth in La Liga last season, immediately has the opportunity to compete for the double after changing owners and coaches in the new season. (League Champion + Europa League Winner)
However, at present, the league championship is a bit hopeful, and can only expect Real Madrid to lose two of the next four games and Atletico Madrid to win all four.
The odds of that are slim and Jose Mourinho's side can't afford to make such a mistake.
So, in fact, the most likely title for Atletico Madrid this season is the Europa League, and it is also a European champion.
If Simeone can win a European title just after taking charge, and the league has sealed the Champions League qualification for next season, Simeone's first season in charge of Atletico Madrid will definitely be a success.
On May 3, Atletico beat Real Sociedad 2-0 at home to continue to chase Real Madrid, but Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid also continued to win, and Atletico Madrid's chances of winning the league title are becoming less and less likely.
On 6 May, Atletico host Málaga. Although Atletico Madrid defeated Malaga, Real Madrid also defeated their opponents, Real Madrid won the championship one round earlier, and Atletico Madrid's catch-up no longer makes sense.
In Atletico's favour, now that the league title has been won by Real Madrid, they don't have to be distracted by the league and can concentrate on preparing for the 2011/2012 Europa League final against Athletic Bilbao.
However, Zhang Huasong did not go to watch the match at home against Malaga at Atletico Madrid, because his Madrid Masters also started.
From May 6th to May 13th, Zhang Huasong continued to win the Madrid Masters with a score of 2-0 without any suspense, and continued to maintain his absolute dominance in the tennis world.
Just as Zhang Huasong was participating in the Madrid Masters, on May 10, at the National Stadium in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, Atletico Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 in the Europa League final, lifting the Europa League trophy for the second time in three years.
When the team returned to Madrid, although Zhang Huasong was still participating in the Madrid Masters, he also used the free time after the game to participate in the team's celebration meeting.
Of course, a lot of bonuses were also distributed to the players and coaches.
With the development of Feixun, the continuous introduction of new games, and the expansion of business, Zhang Huasong's value is getting higher and higher, and he is not bad for money, and he will naturally not be stingy with the rewards for the team to win the championship.
On 14 May, the day after Zhang Huasong's Madrid Masters, Atletico Madrid won the Europa League away against Villarreal, ending the final round of La Liga with a narrow 1-0 victory.
In the end, Real Madrid won the 2011/2012 La Liga title with a record 100 points, followed by Atletico Madrid with 95 points. Barcelona have three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five games, four points less than Atletico Madrid, with only 91 points and third place.
In the first season when the club changed hands, Atletico Madrid finished second in the league under the leadership of new coach Simeone, overtaking the Cosmos team Barcelona and winning the Europa League, much to the surprise of many Atletico fans.
This kind of achievement seems to mean that money is really a very important factor in professional football.
Even Atletico fans, who initially strongly opposed the entry of foreign capital, have become a little hesitant in the face of a successful season.
Some people have even changed their minds and embraced Zhang Huasong.
Zhang Huasong's support rate among Atletico Madrid fans is getting higher and higher.
The 2011/2012 Champions League final on May 19 has stimulated the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans even more.
Because, after Abramovich took over, Chelsea, which has long been regarded as a local tyrant and nouveau riche, defeated the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and won the Champions League for the first time in history.
Combined with the three Premier League titles won by Abobou since taking over Chelsea, Chelsea have completed the transformation from a Premier League powerhouse to a quasi-giants to a real giants in just ten years.
Today, when Chelsea win the Champions League, there are probably few people who will criticize Chelsea as an upstart with contempt.
Most people can only express envy and hatred for Chelsea's rise: because they have a rich owner.
Chelsea won their first ever Champions League title thanks to the investment of a wealthy man, and Atletico Madrid now have a wealthy owner, Zhang Huasong, will President Zhang let Atletico Madrid win the Champions League that they have never touched?
Countless Atletico Madrid fans are itching and looking forward to the future!
