Chapter 576: The strength is still there
At the beginning, sports fans from various countries (excluding Chinese) were quite puzzling when they got the news that Fengquan and Adi Company terminated the contract in advance, after all, the endorsement contract issued by Adi Company for Fengquan is absolutely sky-high among football players, and the cooperation between the two sides in recent years has been quite pleasant, not to mention that Fengquan wants to achieve the goal of early termination and pay tens of millions of euros in liquidated damages.
Then, when they learned the news that "Feng Quan is ready to build his own brand", they immediately regarded Feng Quan as a guy who "regards money as life". In their opinion, Feng Quan's move like this is to rely on his huge popularity, which is now at the peak, to make crazy money in the domestic market.
However, the Chinese people have another point of view on this matter, because the "Wind Team" broke the news through the media close to them, the reason why Feng Quan wants to build his own brand, its main purpose is not to gather more wealth, but to prepare to use the vast majority of the proceeds to build more low-cost, or even tuition-free football schools, so that more children from ordinary family conditions, or even poor families with football talent can get the opportunity to display their talents.
Therefore, for Fengquan's move, there is no surprise that there is a voice of praise in China. At the same time, Adi Company, which is unwilling to "give up" more interests, has been labeled as "Grande in the New Era".
As a result, even if the products of the exclusive brand of Fengquan can not be officially launched until Christmas at the earliest, many people in China who are preparing to buy sporting goods have also given up the idea of buying and are waiting for the official launch of the exclusive brand of Fengquan.
…………
Counting the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid have to play four games in a row in the past 10 days, so Diego Simeone put Feng Quan, Griezmann and Koke, the three core of the team who have played all the previous games, on the bench in the fifth round of La Liga against Almeria on September 24.
Although Atletico Madrid, which sent nearly half of the substitutes, still occupied the initiative on the field with the advantage of overall strength, it still maintained a 0-0 score until the second half of the game.
In desperation, Diego Simeone, who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity against the underdog Almeria to give Feng Quan and other absolute cores a good rest, so that they could go all out in the weekend's game against Sevilla, which has been in the limelight this season, had to send Feng Quan and Griezmann on the field at the same time in the 69th minute of the game.
The Almeria defence, which was already struggling to support, quickly fell apart after the appearance of Feng Quan and Griezmann.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Griezmann, who had switched to the left flank, broke through to the bottom line and sent a cross with a high arc to the front of the goal.
Mandzukic, who was outflanked in front of goal, was in a good position, but he couldn't get on top of Griezmann's cross.
However, just as the goalkeeper moved back to confiscate the ball, Feng Quan, who was ambushed behind Mandzukic's side, "catapulted" on the spot as if he had a spring under his feet, smashing the ball in the air directly into the upper left corner of the goal.
Eight minutes later, Feng Quan received the ball in the middle of the front court to get rid of two defenders in a row, causing the overall formation of the Almeria team to retract with it, and then transferred the ball to the space on the right side of the front court.
Griezmann, who had been waiting there for a long time, first made a gesture to break through to the baseline, and then cut inside to the edge of the box after a sudden change of direction.
Just when the Almeria players thought that Griezmann was going to put on a good show of his mastery inside shot again, Griezmann's high left foot did not volley the football, but used the outside of his left foot to smash the ball sideways towards Fengquan, who was cutting forward at high speed.
As he was running, Feng Quan first unloaded the ball in front of him with his left foot, and then picked up his right leg to complete a powerful heavy bombardment.
Although the goalkeeper who reacted quickly blocked the heavy bombardment of Fengquan, the football that rebounded in front of the goal was still sent into the goal by Mandzukic, who was outflanked in place, 2-0.
Atletico Madrid, who had a two-goal lead, then switched to the counter-attacking mode that they do best, and kept the score 2-0 until the end.
Just one day after the end of this game, Real Madrid, who have been in good form recently, beat Elche 4-1 at the Bernabeu Stadium thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's brace. Barcelona, who challenged Malaga away, suffered a 0-0 draw when the opponent sacrificed the "bus" tactic.
Three days later, the sixth round of La Liga went on as scheduled.
In the first game, Real Madrid, who had won the first two league games in a row, continued their strong momentum, beating Villarreal away with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.
Two hours later, Barcelona, who suffered a 0-0 draw in midweek, ended the suspense of the game early in the first half with a brace from Neymar and a long-range strike from Rakitic.
After the change of sides, Messi, who provided two assists for Neymar in the first half, scored two more goals in the 51st and 61st minutes of the game to help Barcelona lock the score at 5-0.
With Barcelona winning at home to 16 goals, Atletico Madrid could be out of the top spot if they can't beat Sevilla on their home turf.
Although the first six rounds of La Liga are nothing more than an appetizer for the 38-game La Liga, even a temporary deficit is unacceptable for Feng Quan, who aims to lead the team to greater glory. What's more, the two goals he wants to surpass, Messi and Ronaldo have performed very well in the games that ended before.
So, in the game against Sevilla, because he only appeared in the midweek game for more than 20 minutes, it took only more than 30 minutes to completely kill the suspense of the game.
Just five minutes into the game, Feng Quan took advantage of a free kick created by Griezmann at the edge of the penalty area and took a free kick like a "full moon scimitar" to break the deadlock on the field.
Seven minutes later, after switching to the right flank, Feng Quan broke through two defenders in succession, and sent an inverted triangle pass near the penalty spot near the baseline to help Griezmann extend the gap to two goals.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Alda Turan dribbled to the edge of the box after back-to-back collision links with Koke and Raul Garcia.
Just when the opponent thought he would choose to shoot a cold arrow from outside the box, he sent a scalpel-like through ball into the left rib of the box.
Immediately afterwards, after the left foot of Feng Quan, who arrived at the horse, stopped the ball in a very comfortable position, and the curling ball from the inside of his right foot once again widened the gap in the score.
10 minutes later, Feng Quan's inward shot after breaking through two opponents on the left side that he is most familiar with was rejected by the goalkeeper, but the ball after the rebound was ambushed in the penalty area Mandzukic cleverly completed the follow-up shot, 4-0.
Due to the Champions League group stage four days later, Atletico Madrid still has to meet the challenge of Serie A hegemony Juventus at home, so when the team was leading by a large score and the game was basically out of suspense, Diego Simeone replaced Feng Quanquan in advance after just 10 minutes of the second half.
It wasn't until Feng Quan was substituted that the Sevilla team, which was behind by a large score, finally dared to invest more troops in the attack, and then created several threatening attacks.
Unfortunately, their offensive efforts were not able to save face, but in the 36th minute of the second half, Cherci, who was replaced by Antoine Griezmann, scored the goal that sealed the score.
After this round, Atletico Madrid, who won all the first six rounds, not only still occupy the top spot in the standings, but also maintain a goal difference advantage with Barcelona at five.
