Chapter 318: There's an old saying in China
In May, the Asian Super Cup came to an end.
Dalian Wanda, led by Wang Yilin, played two home and away games on behalf of the champion of the Asian Champions League against the Asian Cup Winners' Cup champion Ainas, Dalian Wanda drew 1-1 at home in the first leg, and drew Dalian Wanda at home in the second leg.
It's just that Wanda didn't score a valuable away goal away from home, and in the end, Wanda missed the Asian Super Cup and was taken away by the Saudis.
When the news came, Wang Yilin pursed his lips, obviously a little dissatisfied.
"We still have to give young people a chance!" As soon as Wang Yilin spoke, he was an old man, "A series of champions will make people lose their enterprising spirit, if the championship is too easy, the players are easy to have pride and slackness, and when the time comes, the team will not be easy to bring!" ”
"It's good now, the strength has also been kicked out, and our own style has also been shown, although the championship is lost, there is also a lot of luck in it."
"One failure is not terrible, we will continue to work hard next season, and it will not be too late to win the championship again!"
Wang Yilin's speech was ridiculed by the domestic media: "If you don't win, you won't win, what excuse do you make!" ”
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, after all, Saudi Arabia is also very powerful!"
"Look at the young players of Jianlibao, they don't squeak when they win or lose, they just play football honestly."
The Toulon Cup has begun, and Jianlibao led by Zhu Guanghu drew 1-1 with the powerful Germany in the group stage, defeated Portugal 1-0, and finally drew 1-1 with Brazil and successfully advanced to the semifinals.
The Toulon Cup International Football Invitational Tournament is an international football invitational tournament held in Toulon, France, and is known as the "cradle" of cultivating international stars.
Don't underestimate the "Toulon Cup" football tournament, which has always been valued by FIFA and UEFA. History has proven that the players participating in the "Toulon Cup" are candidates for the future national teams of the participating countries, and the "Toulon Cup" has become a cradle for cultivating international stars. Today's big stars in international football have flashed Toulon, the representative of Portugal's golden generation, Figo, Rui. Costa is a native of the cradle of the Toulon Cup.
Now the Jianlibao Chinese team shines in the Toulon Cup and immediately receives widespread attention.
"I heard that the main goalkeeper of this team is China and Europe, which have been in the limelight in Serie A recently?"
"Are there any young players in this squad who deserve to be poached to Europe?"
"I heard that there are teams in the Premier League that have already acted, and if it is not fast, it is estimated that there will not even be soup left."
Jianlibao is going to return to China after playing this Toulon Cup, although Zhu Guanghu tried his best to apply, but Jianlibao is too widely involved, and this team basically has no way to keep the establishment.
In fact, the Football Association also intends to break it down.
The existence of the establishment can only affect one team, if the players are dispersed in various levels of competitions such as A and B, will their influence affect the national players?
If you can, then even if this Jianlibao is "at the end of its life", it can be regarded as "doing your best".
In terms of national football, after winning the runner-up in the Dynas Cup, the Chinese team led by Ladd has basically completed all the training before the war.
And after Zhang Xiaorui retired from injury, the Football Association and Ladd's coaching staff discussed and decided to choose a young player to supplement the team.
"In the '94 World Cup, Brazil brought Ronaldo."
"Although the youngster didn't play a second in the game, the impact of Brazil's eventual title on the youngster was profound."
"Just look at Ronaldo now."
"We don't expect a Ronaldo from the team, but at least this World Cup trip will leave an indelible impression on the career of this young player."
"And this is also the spirit that our Chinese football needs to inherit..."
After Vice Chairman Xu sprinkled more than 1,000 words, the Football Association announced the list of 21 people to participate in the Shanghai training camp at the end of April, and one of them, a young player named Zhao Junzhi, entered the national football field for the first time.
When figuring out that this young player is currently playing for Liaozu and is only shining in the first B, fans across the country have only one emotion: "It's really young, compared to him, Ou Chuliang is also old!" ”
At the beginning of May, Wang Junsheng, full-time vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, announced the establishment of the National Olympic coaching staff in Beijing, and Chi Shangbin, who was undefeated in 55 games of Dalian Wanda, served as the head coach of the National Olympic Games. Although Chi Shangbin is the coach of the National Olympic Games, he has to focus on the national football team in some technical and tactical arrangements.
Drawing lessons from the "one shoulder" of the national football team and the national football team in the last session, since this year, there has never been a situation where one person plays two roles in the position of the national Olympic team and the national football team.
Domestic and international competitions are in full swing, and the Football Association is not only busy with the World Cup, but also has to consider the longer-term impact of the World Cup on Chinese football.
But all this is a far cry from the league concentrating on Acchulian Ouchuliang, who led former Champions League runners-up Juventus to the Sao Paulo Stadium on May 10.
......
"Naples, known as the 'city of sunshine and pleasure'." Prince Piero leaned back in his chair, looked out the window at the southern Italian countryside, and whispered: "It doesn't matter if you come to Naples in the morning and die in the evening." ”
Piero is talking about an Italian proverb that roughly means a copy of "If you hear the truth, you can die at night". It's just that this "Tao" translates to "beautiful Naples".
"If it's the team led by Maradona, I'd be a little interested, but today's team," Philip Inzaghi shrugged, apparently not playing music in his headphones.
In the summer of 1984, an Argentine named Maradona was bought for a world record transfer fee. Since then, this southern team, which was originally "discriminated against", has become a super powerhouse that can wrestle with the top three in the north.
During those golden years of Serie A, Maradona left Napoli with two league trophies, a Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa Italia and a UEFA Cup.
Almost all of these honors were snatched by Maradona single-handedly from the hands of the three northern powers. If one person can change a team, it's Maradona and Napoli.
Why?
In fact, at that time, Naples was still the same team that was ridiculed by the Yankees, and there was no way to compete with the northern powers. But it is precisely because of the addition of Maradona that this relegation team has become a champion team.
To this day, the visiting Juventus can still hear the Napoli fans composing a song for Maradona: "He's much better than Pele".
Now, after Maradona's departure, the team's results have deteriorated, and then this year's desperate relegation, fans miss the king of the ball more and more.
"We are invincible!" In the bus, a Frenchman with the Mediterranean Sea above his head said in a deep voice. "Even if Maradona's team comes, we won't be afraid!"
Indeed, this Juventus team does have the right to say that.
In the 94-95 season, after Lippi took charge of the Old Lady, he reduced the use of key player Baggio and began to reuse Piero, who was only 20 years old at the time.
It was this season that Lippi led Juventus to 24 wins in 34 Serie A rounds, helping the Old Lady win the Serie A title after eight years with 73 points; In the Coppa Italia final, Lippi also led Juventus to beat Parma 3-0 on aggregate over two legs to be crowned the double of the season.
In May 1996, Lippi led Juventus to a 4-2 penalty shoot-out victory over Ajax in the European Champions League final.
In the 96-97 season, Juventus won the Toyota Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Serie A three championships. Lippi, meanwhile, led Juve to the Champions League final for the second year in a row, but Juve lost 3-1 to Borussia Dortmund in the final to finish as runners-up.
This season, although Juventus lost to Parma in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, with two games left in the league, they are two points ahead of Inter Milan and ranked first in Serie A. Not only that, but Lippi's Juventus reached this year's Champions League final again, against Real Madrid.
Reaching the Champions League final three times in three years, such a Juventus can be said to be unstoppable in Europe, let alone other teams in Serie A.
"We're going to win." Didier. Deschamps smiled lightly: "The current Napoli is not the team with the king of the ball at the beginning, and our visit this time is equivalent to tourism." ”
Didier Deschamps is right, as commercial football is booming, the gap between the big teams and the middle and lower reaches is widening with the support of abundant financial resources.
With the current Napoli trying to stop the league title, it is more difficult than Maradona back then.
Although Napoli are also hungry for victory, how much fighting can a team fighting for relegation show in front of the champions?
"We have an old saying in China, which says that the mourning soldiers will win!" In the locker room, Ou Chuliang said in a deep voice.
He is now a star player for Napoli, and Vincenzo encouraged him to come up with a few words in such a crucial battle.
Looking at the faces of his teammates full of question marks, Ou Chuliang continued to explain: "It means that two armies are at war, and the army that is oppressed and angry and rises up to resist can often win in the end. ”
"Juventus are just fighting for the title and we are fighting for relegation. They already have a lot of accolades, and winning is just icing on the cake. And we are different, we are only left with that. ”
"In the face of relegation, I believe that everyone will burst out with stronger combat effectiveness and let the opponent return home."
"What's more, this is our home stadium, do you want to lose the relegation in front of more than 60,000 fans in São Paulo?"
"No !!"
The team members chanted in unison.
Admittedly, there are a number of players in the dressing room who have already found a home and they don't feel much of a home for Napoli. But for them to be willing to be relegated in front of the fans who support them, many people can't get over this hurdle psychologically.
It's already about a player's bottom line.
Even if you don't like your team anymore, you can't easily allow it to be relegated under your nose. And he was empty-handed, doing nothing.
"We come here, win and then go back and wait for the championship." Looking at the more and more blue fans outside the window, Conte, who was sitting in the last row, made a final conclusion about this trip to Napoli, "Don't think about it, it's as simple as that!" ”
On May 10th, the weather was fine, and it was a very suitable weather for winning the championship or relegation.
On this day, the streets of Napoli were crowded with fans who came to cheer for the home team.
They wore sky blue jerseys, which symbolized the home team, and prayed for the home team.
Everyone knows that Naples has an existential moment.
Whether a team that once produced a world-class champion will be relegated or keep their hopes alive, Napoli fans will naturally hope for the latter.
Outside the São Paulo stadium, fans in sky-blue jerseys began shouting at the Juventus buses coming from afar.
"Hey, bitches, where did you come from, go back here!"
"If you want to score points against Napoli, it's better in the next life!"
"Old ladies, you won't win this season's Serie A! Because you lost to the team of the king of the ball! ”
The fans painted their faces hideously and spat out all the dirty words in their mouths. Many people scolded while singing the Napoli team song. They circled the Juventus bus like a jumping god, chasing after them like spirits.
"It's just a bunch of hillbillies who haven't seen the world before." Davis wiped his goggles, "I didn't expect this place to be even more barbaric and backward than my hometown." ”
At the beginning of the creation of the Juventus team, the founders emphasized that Juventus should be a team with good skills and morals, and should be amiable and polite like a respected old woman.
Since then, Juve has known itself as the "Old Woman".
Juve thinks so about themselves, but his rivals don't.
"Old woman? Oh! She was a B-son when she was young! ”
And this is also the origin of the "oil meter".
"How can we lose to such a bunch of sanctimonious bouts? Don't forget what they did a few days ago for the league title! ”
"This is not the Alp, this is St. Paul, this is not a place for you to go wild!"
With the hope of relegation and beating the championship, and with the desire for a wonderful game, every fan has a solemn look on their faces.
At this moment, even the most amiable and hospitable fans looked at the Juventus bus with hostile eyes.
Especially when I think of the home team beating them and being relegated, that sense of collective pride arises spontaneously.
As the time for the game approached, more and more fans flocked to the St. Paul's Stadium. Soon, the historic stadium was filled with home fans.
Today's game was enough to load the São Paulo Stadium. The sky-blue Napoli fans alone filled most of the seats.
Before the game even started, the fans began to eagerly swear their sovereignty.
In the stands, there were five or six Napoli male fans standing shirtless, in a row, howling neat and mighty slogans, which sounded quite imposing.
Not far from them, there was also a group of Italian girls who wore sky blue jerseys and tied the lower part into a bow to expose their flat bellies. They also stood in a row, each holding a letter that was connected to "froza ou".
Obviously, they all came for Ou Chuliang.
Around the venue, a large number of reporters were also nervously adjusting their equipment. After all, it is the focus of this round of Serie A, and it may even decide the ownership of this season's championship, which naturally attracts journalists from all over the country.
"Piero the Bianconeri, Inzaghi on the offside line, Zinedine Zidane, the midfield maestro ......"
"The front field of three people is a guarantee for Juventus to attack the city."
"If Napoli want to score against Juventus, they have to suppress the firepower of all three of them, otherwise they don't talk about it."
'If they press well, Napoli may be able to score a valuable point.'
"If it's unfortunate that they're both firing on fire, Napoli might be beaten into a sieve by the other side."
"So, are you sure you're looking for me to watch your employer's game? What if he messes up? ”
In the VIP seat, Inter boss Moratti snorted lightly.
Raiola, who had already helped Ou Chuliang with the first two things, smiled lightly on the side: "Mr. Moratti, there is an old saying in China, it is called wealth and danger to seek ......."
