Chapter 024 Barcelona players and presidents
After a few days of being tired of the world, Zhuo Yang returned to Barcelona, and his teammates were tired and crooked from their respective national teams.
Maradona didn't surprise anyone, as Argentina defeated Peru and Uruguay 2-1 and 1-0 in the last two South American qualifiers, especially against arch-rival Uruguay, which gave Argentina a four-point advantage over their opponents to finish fourth in the South American zone, straight to South Africa, and fifth-place Uruguay had to play the play-offs.
However, Messi was mediocre in both games, playing almost the full 180 minutes but scoring no goals and no assists, with credit going to Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain and veteran Palermo, as well as midfield rookie Mario Boratti, who came off the bench to beat Uruguay.
There is no credit and hard work, and I finally got the ticket to South Africa, although it was thrilling, but it did not become a scandal. Messi is not a stubborn person, he is still happy. "Zhuo Yang, do you think Argentina and China will be divided into a group next year? I'm looking forward to it~"
"Leo, your shameless look has the charm of my youth."
The sorrow is none other than Ibrahimovic, and the Swedish god is cold. Sweden lost 1-0 to Denmark in a crucial match, and even a 4-1 win over Albania did not help, with Sweden finishing third in the group behind Portugal by one point, and South Africa's door was closed.
Ibrahimovic failed to make an indifference in these two games, and he fell into a terrible decline. Although Ronaldo only played about 20 minutes before resting due to injury, Portugal still won 3:0 and 4:0 in a row, and later qualified for the play-offs.
"Zlatan, where are you going on vacation next summer? Don't forget to tell me about the good place! Zhuo Yang's gloating look was very annoying.
"Fuck off! I'm so annoyed, don't even talk to me. β
"Sneer~~~"
France failed to overtake Sevilla, with captain Henry leading the team to two consecutive wins and still having to prepare for the play-offs. Ribery missed all seven qualifiers of the year due to injury, which had a big impact on the French team's attacking power, drawing with Romania, Lithuania and Austria in a row, and finally trailing Serbia by one point. Fortunately, Scar is about to make a comeback, and Zhuo Yang hopes that the French team can pass the play-offs smoothly and the six musketeers can gather in South Africa. Also playing in the play-offs are the likes of Ukraine, who beat England 1-0 on penalties from Shevchenko.
Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands secured the top spot in the group early, and there was no suspense a few months before they qualified directly. The same can be said for Spain, who are 11 points clear of second-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group E, narrowly missing out on the worst finish in the group. Germany, Italy and Jose went through the motions in these two rounds, and the six Spanish internationals in the Barcelona team were distracted by the autumn trip.
Puyol, Messi, Henry, Coffee, as well as Mexico's Marquez and Ivory Coast's Yaya Toure, who have already qualified, deliberately avoided Ibrahimovic but openly discussed in front of Zhuo Yang who is lucky to meet the Chinese team next summer.
Zhuo Yang said: "You are so beautiful!" "But I was thinking: Run into me? Hum!
The Chinese team did not play seriously during the two international breaks, but they were not idle either.
The Botswana national team is an African fish-belly player, having been knocked out of the World Cup Africa in the first group stage of the qualifiers. During the two international breaks, Botswana were invited to China, where a group of players whose names no one had ever heard of happily played two public warm-up matches with the Chinese team in Hohhot.
It's still an old problem, and the performance is extremely unstable. In the first game, the Chinese team won 4:0, and the mercury-like attack was like a second-rate attack in Europe, and five days later, they did not hesitate to lose 1:2 inexplicably, and the Botswana people were as happy as the New Year.
This kind of opponent has never come to increase China's football experience, their biggest role is to increase the geographical knowledge of Chinese fans, otherwise most fans will never know that there is such a country in the world for the rest of their lives.
Jie Shuai called Zhuo Yang and said: I've only been in office for a year, right? But look at how much my hair has fallen!
Zhuo Yang said: Just endure it again, just endure it again.
Jie Shuai: If you endure these people, your performance will be stable?
"No, if you endure it any longer, you'll get used to losing your hair."

Barcelona's players have different joys and sorrows because of football, but BarΓ§a president Joan Laporta has had a headache in the past two days, and he has been in trouble.
An article published in Spain's "Mr. Football" magazine revealed: Almost every match day, Barcelona President Laporta will invite some people to dine in the most expensive restaurant in Barcelona, and the cost of each meal is almost more than 50,000 euros, and the payment is always the public credit card that the club president has.
According to the report, Laporta's banquet targets include other senior members of the club, such as the two vice-presidents, Laporta's right-hand man Alfonso Gorda and Sara Martin, as well as from manager Pep Guardiola to captain Puyol, Xavi, Zhuo Yang, Messi, Ibrahimovic and other heavyweight players, and even some Laporta's private business partners, his young classmates, and so on. As long as he treats him, Laporta will eat and drink at public expense.
In the face of the fierce questioning of the media and members, Laporta said that these banquets are all for work, all for the affairs of Barcelona Club, and naturally they have to be on business. But the members took out his rhetoric when he ran for president - I will take good care of the club, I will not spend a penny on the club, and I will not cheat anyone like the previous chairman. β but left Laporta speechless, who won the hearts of his members by lashing out at his predecessor, Gaspate, for spending public money.
Not only that, but the media also revealed that Laporta's chairman's card was also used to pay for hiring private jets and traveling around the world. Laporta responded that it was a normal travel expense. The problem is that some of Laporta's itinerary is not even known to the official Barcelona club.
In fact, the nature of a membership club like Barcelona determines that it must be financially grey, and internal corruption and sidekicking cannot be eliminated at all. The people who really work here know these things, as long as they don't go too far, everyone doesn't care, and when the water is clear, there are no fish.
Once these things are turned over in front of the public, there must be something else, and this is often just the beginning, just a tentative move to ask for directions.
It is clear that this is a new round of attacks on Laporta's former deputy and now rival Sandro Rosell, and it is a new move by Russell after the impeachment motion was thwarted.
Laporta is a seasoned veteran, and he has thwarted many of Rusell's plots in his years in office. In the face of this wave of public opinion, Laporta is confident that he can still survive safely, standing majestically in the stormy waves.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, football is not a pure land, Barcelona FC also has its complex political ecology, and this aspect is far more intricate than AC Milan.
Amid the undercurrents at the top, the tired Barcelona players embarked on a trip to the seventh round of La Liga, where they faced Valencia, the Bat Army.
