After the league game against Huelva, there is a two-week league suspension, which is the FIFA national team break.

As a 'big international', many of Ibiza's internationals depart from Ibiza airport and fly to big cities such as Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona before flying to their respective national teams to report.

The bustling Ibiza training base was quiet again, and Fang Jue had to transfer some players from the youth and reserve teams to the first team before he could barely complete basic tactical training.

"It's decided?" Fang Jue asked.

"Yes." Sun Jihai nodded, and the veteran's expression was a little lonely, "It's time to say goodbye." ”

Sun Jihai invited Fang Jue to dinner, his family had also moved from Manchester to Ibiza, Fang Jue brought Miss Papa to the banquet, after establishing a relationship, this kind of private occasion, Miss Papa appeared as Fang Jue's fiancée.

Son has finally made the difficult decision that the 31-year-old will announce his retirement from the national team.

Thirty-one years old is already relatively old for a professional athlete, but if the athletic condition and physical condition are maintained, he can still play for another two years, it stands to reason that Sun Jihai does not need to retire from the national team in such a hurry.

However, the veteran eventually made this decision.

This is because Sun Jihai himself does not know when his next national team match will come.

In June this year, in the World Cup qualifiers between the Chinese team and the Qatar team at home, Sun Jihai, who failed to play, protested emotionally because of his objection to the Lebanese referee's decision, and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card. In the subsequent match with the Iraqi team, at the pre-match joint meeting, the game supervisor informed the Chinese team that Sun Jihai would definitely be suspended.

At that time, the Chinese national team thought that Sun Jihai would only be suspended for one game. Therefore, after losing to Iraq and completely missing the World Cup, Sun Jihai remained in the team and prepared to travel to Sydney for the final match against Australia.

However, soon, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee convened a meeting and made a decision to impose additional penalties on Sun Jihai. In FIFA's fax to the Chinese Football Association, FIFA said: Sun Jihai was suspended for five games because of his disrespectful words and deeds to the referee. In view of the fact that the Chinese team has not participated in the next stage of the World Cup qualifiers, according to the FIFA disciplinary regulations, this punishment will be extended to the international official competitions in which the Chinese team participates in the future.

It is precisely because of the suspension of these five games that Sun Jihai was not able to play in the background Olympic team as an overage player.

And because he was not able to enter the squad of the National Olympic team, the three group stage games of the National Olympic team were not able to brush up on Sun Jihai's three suspensions.

……

Speaking of the Olympic Games, the ambitious head of the Football Association, Xie Yalong, once envisioned a strategy of "big bet" on the Olympic Games, and before the start of the Beijing Olympic Games, it is said that the Football Association spent 20 million or 30 million yuan on the national Olympic team a year.

In this way, the national Olympic team has become the number one darling of Chinese football "deformed", everything has to make way for this team, relative to the Beijing Olympics, the important World Cup qualifiers have also become second, and finally the Chinese team was out of the group stage of the top 40 of the World Cup qualifiers, and finally at the Beijing Olympics, the men's national Olympic team has once again become the only team to add to the blockage of the Chinese people without any suspense, betting on the strategy of the Olympic Games, and finally leaving a piece of chicken feathers.

The upcoming 2009 is a busy year for those powerhouses in Asian football. World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup qualifiers, World Youth Championships, and World Junior Championships one after another, but this kind of "happy trouble" does not exist for the Chinese Football Association at all, because next year, China's "national brand" team will have no ball to kick except for participating in the Asian Cup qualifiers like chicken ribs.

This also means that with Sun Jihai's age, it will definitely not be possible to get the chance to impact the next World Cup and the 2014 World Cup, and he chose to retire from the national team after thinking twice.

"It's okay to retreat." Fang Jue nodded and said, "Concentrate on playing in the club and watch me take you to win a few championships." ”

Sun Jihai laughed and said, okay.

……

The next day, Sun Jihai, a veteran Chinese international player in Ibiza, held a press conference in Ibiza to announce his official retirement from the national team.

For Sun Jihai's statement, it did not cause too many waves, on the one hand, because the veterans of the 2002 World Cup have retired one after another, and the media and fans are used to it, and on the other hand, no one really cares.

That night, Sun Jihai came to the study alone, carefully folded the national team jersey that he treasured during the 2002 World Cup, and collected it, on the wall behind him, there was an old poster, a Yugoslav named Milutinovic was smiling in the middle, and Sun Jihai and his teammates were flanked by him behind him, all of whom had happy smiles on their faces.

As you can imagine, the photojournalists, the onlookers, and the reporters are all laughing.

Such a smile, since then, has not been there.

……

On October 18th, the 7th round of La Liga, the first game was the Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid, which had just been bloodied by Barcelona away from home, carried forward their traditional spirit, and Real Madrid at home, the people on the field turned on their backs, and finally, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1, and the two sides also broke out in a skirmish after the game.

"Atletico Madrid has four games in a season, working hard at Calderón and Real Madrid, at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid, giving Barcelona a head at Camp Nou and a head at Calderón." - After the game, "Radio Serre" said sarcastically.

In a high-profile game that followed, league leaders Villarreal were held to a draw away from Espanyol.

This also makes Fang Jue happy, which means that as long as Ibiza win at home to Getafe in this round of fixtures, they will be able to surpass Villarreal and become the leaders of La Liga.

With this in mind, the last two matches of the round: Ibiza and Getafe, and Sevilla away to Almeria, have been in the spotlight.

A win for Ibiza and Sevilla would tie Villarreal on points with the three teams tied for first place, and given Eves' goal difference, it is likely that they will be top of the league on goal difference.

Ibiza Athletic Stadium.

The 90-minute final whistle blew and the small stadium erupted in loud and frantic cheers.

Getafe's talented Spanish goalscorer Soldado opened the scoring for the visitors, and as Real Madrid's younger brother, Getafe has a lot of Real Madrid players.

However, just before half-time, Luka Modric scored with a beautiful world wave to help Ibiza equalise.

In the second half, Aubameyang counter-attacked and scored to put the score in the lead.

In the end, thanks to goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Luka Modric, Ibiza beat Getafe 2-1 at home, a somewhat difficult victory that ensured that the La Liga promoted polo team tied Villarreal in points, and they will surpass Villarreal to become the leaders of La Liga on goal difference!

After seven rounds of La Liga, Fang Jue and his team ranked first in the La Liga standings as promoted horses, pressing Villarreal, Sevilla, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Valencia under him, which shocked Spanish football, shocked European football, and shocked everyone.

PS: The 3rd shift cums the 2/24 of the monthly pass arrears.
