When Tiger Falcao caused many clubs in the five major leagues, including Atletico Madrid, in China, Zhang Huasong hired the national football coach Otto Rehhagel with the world's highest salary, and ushered in his real test: the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers.

The previous warm-up matches were all small tests, and whether you win or lose, it doesn't really matter.

Although Otto the Great's five consecutive wins in the warm-up matches are very refreshing, no matter how many warm-up matches he wins, it will not help the official world preliminaries at all.

If I have to say anything, the most I can do is to get more FIFA points, which will have a bit of an impact on the seeding of the top 20 and top 10, but it will also be very limited in helping to qualify in the end.

Everything still depends on the comprehensive strength and on-the-spot performance in the official competition.

Just like Belgium in parallel time and space, relying on the warm-up matches and the 2016 European Championship qualifiers in France, it topped the FIFA FIFA rankings.

But what is the use of birds?

FIFA's No. 1 ranking could not allow Belgium to win the title in the main draw of Euro 2016, and in the quarter-finals, they were eliminated 3-1 by teams like Wales, and they could not even enter the semi-finals.

Therefore, no matter how much you win in the warm-up game and how many points you have, it will not play a big role.

After all, because of the nature of the warm-up game, the importance of the opponent and the psychological state of the players are different. What if you win France in the warm-up match? Do you dare to say that you can beat France in an official match?

Like Li Yanzhi, his results in the warm-up game were not bad, but he stopped cooking as soon as he arrived at the official competition, and in the end he could not escape the fate of leaving class.

Therefore, when the Chinese team started the first game of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers, Zhang Huasong, who was in China, came to the scene to watch the game.

He wants to witness whether the Chinese team is really different from parallel time and space, or whether it is just a warm-up game that performs better than parallel time and space.

A total of 43 countries and regions have registered for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and FIFA has allocated 4.5 quota places to the Asian region for the finals.

The Asian qualifiers will be divided into 5 stages.

Stage 1: The 16 teams with the lowest results in the last World Cup qualifiers in South Africa will play two legs home and away, and the winning 8 teams will advance to the second stage of the competition.

Stage 2: Excluding the 5 teams with the highest results in the World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, the remaining 22 teams will compete with the 8 teams that won the first stage again in two legs of home and away, and the winning 15 teams will enter the third stage of the competition.

The third stage is the top 20 competition, which is divided into 5 groups, and the top two teams in each group advance to the fourth stage of the competition.

The fourth stage is the top 10 of the Asian qualifiers that is related to who finally reaches the top 32 of the World Cup.

The top 10 matches are divided into two groups, A and B, with the top two teams in each group directly advancing to the World Cup finals in Brazil, and the third place in the two groups will play the final showdown, and the winner will qualify for the Asian play-offs.

The fifth stage is when teams that have qualified for the Asian play-offs compete with teams from other continents for the final 0.5 promotion spots.

As one of the 22 teams outside the top five in South Africa's World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team will start participating in the second stage.

There are no groups in the second stage of the competition, and the home and away matches will be played one-on-one by direct draw, and the winner will advance to the top 20 in the third stage.

Because of the high FIFA Asian ranking, the Chinese team drew the weaker Lao team.

Although Laos is only a 175th-ranked team in the world football rankings, there is almost no suspense that the Chinese team will win.

But this is the first game of the Chinese team to open the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers, and it is also Rehhagel's first official game test, so the whole country, including Zhang Huasong, attaches great importance to it.

On July 23, before the game began, the stands of Kunming Tuodong Stadium were already filled with fans from all over the country, and countless fans failed to buy tickets to enter.

Media from all over the country also interviewed fans inside and outside the stadium to report on the grand occasion of the World Cup qualifiers that the whole country is watching.

Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei entered the VIP seats in the stands a few minutes before the start of the game, and sat with Xiao Yingyi, the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association, and others, talking about how many goals the Chinese team would win in this game.

Xiao Yingyi and others were smiling, feeling that Rehhagel's adjustment to the national football team in the past few months has achieved remarkable results, and there will be no problem in winning Laos.

Although the leaders of the Football Association are a little disgraced by not being able to meddle in the national team, the leaders of the Football Association also have merit and political achievements if they have achieved good results.

Therefore, the leaders of the Football Association are still in a relaxed mood, and the mood of other VIPs is the same.

However, Zhang Huasong's heart was not easy.

According to the history of parallel time and space that Zhang Huasong learned from the all-round system, although the Chinese team led by Gao Hongbo defeated the Lao team with a score of 7-2 in this game, it was still scolded by the media and fans after the game.

Because, the 77th-ranked Chinese team in FIFA defeated the 175th-ranked Laos team by a big score, which was a matter of course.

But in fact, the process of the game was that the Laos team, which was composed of all amateur players, scored a lightning goal in the fourth minute of the first half and broke through the door of the Chinese team. In the 31st minute, the Laos team scored another goal, and the Chinese team fell behind 0-2 in the first half to the Laos team, which is composed of Southeast Asian amateur players.

The leaders of the Football Association who supervised the battle on the spot were like ashes, and the fans in the stands issued a call for "disbanding the Football Association" and "Gao Hongbo leaving class".

Although the Chinese team launched a Jedi counterattack in the second half and defeated Laos with a 7-2 reversal, the Chinese team's performance in the first half of facing an amateur team that could concede two goals first was quite sadistic, which made the media and fans unforgivable.

Now, in a different time and space, this is Blue Star, and the coach is not Gao Hongbo, but the world-class coach Otto Rehhagel, and the players in the national football team have also undergone some changes.

It stands to reason that time and space are different, coaches and players are different, and the process and result of the game are different.

According to the performance of the warm-up game, the performance of the Chinese team under Rehhagel was far better than that of the Chinese team under Gao Hongbo in parallel time and space.

However, Zhang Huasong was not very relieved, he was afraid that the previous warm-up games would be short-lived, and he was afraid that the Huaguo team would show its original form as soon as it came to the official competition.

If Rehhagel, a famous coach with the world's highest salary, had coached the Chinese team for several months to concede two goals in the first half and fall behind 0-2 to an amateur opponent like Laos like the Chinese team in parallel time and space, I am afraid that Rehhagel would face much greater pressure of public opinion than Gao Hongbo in parallel time and space.

And Zhang Huasong's designation of Rehhagel as the head coach of the national football team and the refusal to let the Football Association interfere will inevitably cause a huge backlash.

However, even so, Zhang Huasong did not call Rehhagel, let alone remind Rehhagel to pay attention to defense at the beginning of this game against Laos.

Because Zhang Huasong once promised Rehhagel that he would not interfere with the tactics of the national team. If he says he won't interfere with the national team, he really won't interfere.

Therefore, now the tactics adopted by the national team in the face of Laos and the psychological state of the international players, Zhang Huasong, like ordinary fans, is also ignorant and quite worried.

It was under such circumstances that the first official match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers was officially played at the Tuodong Stadium in Kunming, where the World Football Confederation ranked 77th against the world's 175th-ranked Laos.

When the game began, the Chinese team did not rush up to besiege Laos because it was much stronger than the opponent, but first consolidated the defense, and then steadily fought with the Lao team.

In Zhang Huasong's nervous attention, the 4th minute quietly came.

On the earth parallel to time and space, the Chinese team was scored by a lightning counterattack by the Laos team in the 4th minute.

However, now the Blue Star Huaguo team has the slightest sign of conceding a goal.

Because the defense of the Chinese team is so good, the Lao team composed of amateur players has limited individual ability, and there is no chance to counterattack at all.

Under Zhang Huasong's gaze, 4 minutes passed slowly, and although the Huaguo team did not score, it did not concede a goal.

History has indeed been changed, and the scene of the Chinese team being scored by the Laos team in the 4th minute did not appear in the Chinese team led by the blue star Rehhagel.

Zhang Huasong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next game, the formation of the Huaguo team on the field was quite intact, and the Laos team did not even get a chance to threaten the goal of the Huaguo team, let alone score.

On the contrary, the Chinese team relies on stronger strength, and every few minutes there will be an attack that threatens the Lao team's goal.

In the 14th minute of the first half, the Chinese team finally scored a goal by the striker using his personal ability, and the Chinese team led the Laos team 1-0.

Under Rehhagel's tutelage, the current Chinese team has carved the mark of obvious defensive counterattack tactics.

When the Huaguo team takes the lead, it means that the opponent has to attack in the next game, and the game is more conducive to the Huaguo team to play defensive counterattacks.

In the next game, the fans, reporters, leaders of the Football Association, Zhang Huasong, and Chinese fans in front of the TV watched it quite easily.

Facing the Laotian team, which is almost entirely amateur players, the goals of the Chinese team came one after another, but the Lao team was never able to break through the defense of the Chinese team.

At the end of the game, Huaguo got a total of 38 shots on goal, of which 24 were on target, and scored 8 goals, and they did not concede a goal.

Laos only had a pitiful 3 shots on goal, only 1 of which were on target, and they were easily confiscated by the Chinese goalkeeper due to the interference of the Chinese defenders.

In the end, the Chinese team won the first home game of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers with a comfortable score of 8-0 against Laos, completely ending the suspense of the second leg of the away game.

No one believed that Otto the Great's Chinese team would capsize away from home and lose to Laos by more than eight goals conceded.

Fans even joked lightly that even if the Chinese team sent 11 substitutes over, it could easily defeat Laos and let the national football team advance to the top 20 of the Asian zone of the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil.

In fact, on July 28, in the second leg of the away game, although Rehhagel did not send all the substitutes, he used up the three substitutions, so that the three substitutes got the opportunity to play in the World Preliminaries, and felt the atmosphere of the official match of the World Preliminaries.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Lao team 6-0 away from home, scored 14 goals in two legs, and advanced to the top 20 without conceding a goal, which was praised by the domestic media and fans.

The results of the two games were different from the Chinese team in parallel time and space, especially the solid defense of the Chinese team that did not concede a goal in two games, which left a deep impression on Zhang Huasong.

Rehhagel's adjustment of the Chinese national team in defense has really achieved outstanding results, and Zhang Huasong is relieved.

Just when the Chinese team defeated Laos over two legs to advance to the top 20 of the Asian region of the World Preliminaries, on August 2, Atletico Madrid Club of Spain announced that it had reached a transfer agreement with the Portuguese club Porto: Colombian player Falcao of the Porto team joined Atletico Madrid for a sky-high transfer fee of 40 million euros.

When the news came out, the world was shocked.

Atletico Madrid fans are celebrating with each other, while La Liga clubs are facing rivals.

Because this transfer is the current target of the 2011 summer transfer period in European football and even world football.

On the planet of parallel time and space, the target of this summer transfer period originally belonged to Aguero, because Aguero was poached by Manchester City for a transfer fee of 45 million euros.

However, on the Blue Star, Aguero was impressed by the sincerity of Atletico Madrid, whose boss was replaced by Zhang Huasong, with a large salary increase, and the contract renewal was successful, and he did not switch to Manchester City again.

Therefore, Aguero's 45 million euro bid value does not exist, and Falcao's transfer fee of 40 million euros has become the target king this summer.

Major media outlets have reported on the front page, claiming that Zhang Huasong finally did what a rich man should do: bring in superstar players in a big way, instead of asking Simeone for 1.5 million euros, renewing the contracts of Aguero De Gea and others.

Although a few days later, Falcao's 40 million bid was broken by Pastore, who transferred from Palermo to Paris Saint-Germain, with a figure of 43 million euros.

However, Zhang Huasong's 40 million euro purchase of Falcao was praised by the media and Atletico Madrid fans.

After all, this is not the Falcao that Atletico bought with the transfer fee obtained from selling Aguero in parallel time and space, but the real Zhang Huasong's money.

That's definitely a big deal.

What's more, after Falcao, Atletico Madrid bought forward player Alda Turan from Turkish Galatasaray for 13 million euros.

The two transfers, with a total investment of up to 53 million euros and more than 400 million yuan, definitely do not deserve the reputation of Zhang Huasong as the richest man in the sports world.

Atletico Madrid fans also rushed to tell each other, looking forward to the team's new season of play.
