Chapter 524: Time

As the saying goes, it's the mule and the horse that comes out to slip away. www.biquge.info The 1998-1999 season of the Salween First Division has ended, and the 10-team rankings have been decided.

The first place is the Salwynth District FC with the "dream combination" Romario and Bebeto, and the defender Jaap Stam; second place, L'OrΓ©al Football Club, which owns the goalkeeper Kahn; third place, Wal-Mart FC with goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar; fourth place, the Oriental Chinese Football Club with defender Frank de Boer; fifth, with defender Arthur Numan, is the Causau FC; The sixth place is the Panshi Group Football Club with left fullback Wu Chengying, right fullback Sun Jihai, midfielder Li Tie, midfielder Ma Mingyu, and striker Hao Haidong; Seventh place is the Panshi Bank Football Club with midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata, goalkeeper Noko Kawaguchi, and defender Yutaka Akita; eighth place, Qatar Airways Football Club with midfielder Edgar Davies; ninth, Berkshire FC with midfielder Ronald de Boer; In tenth place, Mitsui Steel Football Club has defender Michael Reziger.

According to the regulations of the Salween Football Association, Mitsui Steel Football Club, which is the last place in the Sagari Football League, is automatically relegated to the Salween Football League, and the Panshi Charity Football Club, which is the first place in the Sagari Football League, is promoted to the Salween Football League.

The news of the relegation of Mitsui Steel Football Club did not have much impact in the Republic of Salween, but in Japan, it caused an uproar.

Three days later, a club transfer that shocked Asian football took place in the Republic of Salween.

The Sumitomo Foundation, one of Japan's six monopoly conglomerates, wholly acquired the ownership of Panshi Bank Football Club for $1.4 billion, and changed the name of the club to Sumitomo Football Club and the name of Panshi Bank Stadium to Sumitomo Stadium. The reason for the acquisition of a staggering $1.4 billion is that Rock Bank Football Club owns a stadium in the Rock Kingdom, where every inch of land is expensive and the land is the highest in the world.

Five days later, more than a dozen businessmen from Huaguo jointly acquired the ownership of the Panshi Group football club for the same amount of $1.4 billion. After the completion of the acquisition, the Panshi Group Football Club was renamed as Tang Ren Football Club by the new owner, and the Panshi Group Stadium was renamed as the Tang Stadium by the new owner.

So far, the ten teams of the Salween Football League for the new season have come into view.

Salvind District FC, L'OrΓ©al FC, Walmart FC, Oriental Chinese Commercial FC, Calso FC, Tang China FC, Sumitomo FC, Qatar Airways FC, Berkshire FC, Rock Charity FC.

At the end of the 1998-1999 season, the 1999 summer transfer window for international football began.

In the just-concluded UEFA Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain led by Zidane and Ronaldinho lost to La Liga Valencia led by Ronaldo and Rivaldo, and unfortunately fell to the runner-up.

As soon as the summer transfer window opened, Ronaldinho immediately left Paris Saint-Germain to join the Rock Charity Football Club, which had already won the first division.

The hottest midfielder in world football joined, and the big Laudrup had to give up the main position for Ronaldinho; On the other hand, with the rapid growth of Lucio, a central defender with Salwyn nationality, the team had to change the usual formation from 1433 to 1532 for Lucio, and the striker Laudrup Jr., who was still in peak form, also lost his main position.

Goalkeepers, Casillas (Salwyn), defenders Cafu, Cannavaro, Lucio (Salween), Nesta, Carlos, midfielders Ronaldinho (Salween), Ballack (Salwein), Long Zheng (Salwin), forwards Klose (Salwein), Adriano (Salwein). Within the Rock Charity Football Club, this squad is regarded as the club's best team for the 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League.

Thankfully, brothers Laudrup and Laudrup Jr. have signed a one-year contract with Rock Charity Football Club, which is still expiring. With Ryu-jung personally intervening, brothers Laudrup and Laudrup Jr. joined Salwein FC for the second qualifying round of the Champions League.

On the green field, money is not everything. L'OrΓ©al Football Club and Wal-Mart Football Club, which participated in the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, fully verified the correctness of this sentence. The two strong and well-funded clubs, however, lost to their opponents in the first round of the Champions League due to their lack of experience in the competition, and returned home early.

The Mawlamyine Special Economic Zone, a suburb 15 kilometers from the main city, is under construction at the Salween Stadium, which is modeled after the Stade de France.

To be honest, the Salween Stadium, which is under construction, has contributed to the successful bid of the Republic of Salween to host the 2006 World Cup.

Funded by Long Zheng, Salwyn Stadium will be the home of both the Salween National Football Team and the Rock Charity Football Team.

Unlike the Stade de France in France, which is a large-scale sports venue with multiple uses, the Salween Stadium under construction is a dedicated football stadium, although it also has a capacity of more than 80,000 spectators.

At this moment, Ryuzheng and his girlfriend Miqing are checking the progress of the construction of Salwyn Stadium.

Not far away, two young men with oriental faces stood there respectfully. These two young men from the East face are Peter Man and Chan Wai-ho, who were born in Hong Kong.

Although they were born in Hong Kong, Peter and Chan Wai Ho have already settled in the Republic of Salween with their families and have already obtained Salween citizenship.

It has to be said that although Long Zheng and the Salween Football Association have invested a lot in youth training, the cultivation and excavation of football talents has always been a time-consuming thing, not to mention that before the establishment of the Republic of Salween, the people in this region have never been exposed to football. It is also because of this that Peter Man and Chan Wai Ho, who immigrated from Hong Kong, became Salween nationality and received professional football training from an early age, quickly stood out, and now they are in the sights of Long Zheng.

After finishing the inspection work, Long Zheng slowly walked in front of the two, pointed to the Salwyn Stadium in front of him, and said in a condensed voice.

"Do you want to play in here? Kick the ball under the watchful eyes of 80,000 spectators. ”

"Eighty thousand spectators?" Peter Wen and Chen Weihao glanced at each other, as if they had realized something.

"Yes, this is the dream we have been chasing for a lifetime." Looking at Long Zheng, the tone of Peter Wen and Chen Weihao was extremely firm.

"In that case, I'm going to give you both a chance to join the Rock Charity Football Club." Patting the shoulders of the two, Long Zheng said meaningfully: "However, whether you can gain a foothold in the team depends on yourself." ”

"Footing yourself at the Rock Charity Football Club?" Thinking of those football superstars in the team, Peter Wen and Chen Weihao's faces instantly failed miserably. Not to mention the foothold, even if we carry bags for them, we are not qualified. The two thought so in their hearts

Seeing the faces of the two of them defeated, worried that the two of them would have psychological problems if they thought too much, Long Zheng then encouraged: "Don't worry, I will give you plenty of opportunities, even if it is not fair to others." ”

"Give me both a chance?"

Although they knew that Long Zheng said this completely because of the Salween nationality of the two of them, Peter Wen and Chen Weihao were still excited when they heard Long Zheng's words, and they felt that pie fell from the sky and fell directly into the hands of the two.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On July 30, 1999, at 8 p.m. at the Mawlamyine Special Economic Zone Stadium, the first leg of the second round of the 1999-2000 UEFA Champions League qualifying round, the Rock Charity Football Club hosted Waldar.

As the club's first official match of the new season, under the instruction of Long Zheng, Rock Charity Football Club did not offer the strongest squad, but gave a number of young players valuable opportunities to play, Peter Wen, Chen Weihao, Cristiano Ronaldo, and full-back Filip Lahm, who was quickly promoted from the academy, all played as starters.

Because Vardar's strength is not strong, Rock Charity Football Club did not offer the main formation of 1532 in this game, but boldly used the 1433 formation.

goalkeeper, Casillas (Salwyn);

Defenders Peter Wein (Salween), Chan Wai Ho (Salween), Lucio (Salween), Philippe Lahm (Salween);

Midfielders Ronaldinho (Salwyn), Ballack (Salwin), Ryuzheng (Salwin);

Forwards Cristiano Ronaldo (Salwyn), Klose (Salwyn), Adriano (Salwyn).

Too young, or rather immature.

The commentators of the TV station that broadcast the game simultaneously all questioned Long Zheng's arrangement.

Goalkeeper Casillas, born on May 20, 1981, is now 18 years old; Right wing-back Peter Wein, born on 16 February 1982, is now 17 years old; Centre-back Chan Wai-ho was born on 24 April 1982 and is now 17 years old. Central defender Lucio was born on May 8, 1978 and is now 21 years old; Left wing-back Filip Lahm was born on 11 November 1983 and is now 16 years old. Right midfielder Ronaldinho was born on 21 March 1980 and is now 19 years old; Barak, a midfielder, was born on September 26, 1976 and is now 23 years old. Left forward Long Zheng was born on November 15, 1978 and is now 21 years old; Right striker Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 and is now 14 years old; Center forward Klose was born on June 9, 1978 and is now 21 years old; Left winger Adriano was born on 17 February 1982 and is now 17 years old.

The oldest is 23 years old and the youngest is 14 years old, and the Rock Charity Football Club has such a young squad in the European competition, and the commentators all look down on the prospects of the Rock Charity Football Club for this game.

In the live broadcast hall of the Huaguo CCTV Sports Channel, guest commentator Han Qiaosheng and ace commentator Huang Jianxiang are also discussing the trend of the game.

Because of Long Zheng's Chinese identity and the special relationship between the Republic of Salween and China, the Salween national football team is also regarded as the second national football team by Chinese fans when the Chinese national football team has a poor record. The Rock Charity Football Club is a football club specially established by Long Zheng in order to improve the strength of the Salwyn national football team, look at the lineup of the Rock Charity Football Club at this moment, the eleven starters are all Salwyn nationality, you can see the layout of Long Zheng. Therefore, in just one year or so, Panshi Charity Football Club has more than 50 million fans in China, of which 10 million can be regarded as die-hard fans; All sorts of fan groups of the Rock Charity Football Club have sprung up in China.

"I have to say that the current world football world also dares to do this. In order to provide training opportunities for the young players of the national team, the club's four main defenders last season were all pressed to the bench by Long Zheng. ”

Seeing the starting lineup of the Panshi Charity Football Club, guest commentator Han Qiaosheng couldn't help but say worriedly.

"With less than a year to go, Salween is going to host the European Championship on its home soil, and there is really not much time left for Long Zheng. As the third runner-up in the World Cup, the Salwyn national football team will definitely win the European Cup held on home soil. In order to prepare for the European Championship, it is necessary to provide training opportunities for young players in the national team. ”

For this lineup on the field of the Panshi Charity Football Club, ace commentator Huang Jianxiang has his own opinions. (To be continued.) )
