Chapter 1067 Dreams Rise Again, Veterans Don't Die, They Just Fade Away
After the draw, the favorites also surfaced, with Brazil as the host, and the five-star Brazil was naturally the most vocal to win the championship.
Then there is another South American powerhouse, Argentina, who are in second place to win the title.
Third place goes to Germany.
Defending champions Spain are in fourth place.
The Netherlands is in fifth.
France is in sixth place.
Italy is in seventh place.
England came in eighth.
Portugal is in ninth place.
And China, in tenth place.
Tenth, this odds scared Chinese fans, and when they saw the odds offered by major spinach companies in Europe on the Internet, everyone was excited.
"Tenth place, this at least shows that the Chinese team is in the second group to win the championship."
"In the football world, no one dares to ignore the existence of the Chinese team, think about more than ten years ago, when we participated in the World Cup for the first time, the Chinese team was ranked first, and now we have jumped to the tenth place, and no team dares to ignore us."
"We're a strong team!"
What excites Chinese fans even more is that in the odds of the top scorer, Dong Fangzhuo's name is impressively ranked first.
This belongs to Dong Fangzhuo's exclusive field, as strong as Messi and Ronaldo, they can't snatch Dong Fangzhuo's throne.
Dong Fangzhuo participated in the third World Cup, and he is still the top favorite for the top scorer. Although he has not been the top scorer in the past three years, he is still the most brilliant jewel in the crown of the World Cup.
The second place is Messi, which is also normal, because Argentina is fighting in South America and has half a home advantage, and Messi, who has been hanging in recent years, has a reason to appear in the second position.
And the third place is Neymar, Neymar is in Brazil, Brazil is the host, he is in third is a bit underestimating him.
Fourth place is Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo's Portugal team itself is limited, although they reached the semi-finals in Euro 2012, but this time it is the World Cup.
In fifth place is Müller, who is again looked down upon......
"If Dong Fangzhuo wins the top scorer of the World Cup again this year, I think he can be compared to Pele and Maradona, maybe we will never have a chance to win the World Cup, but Dong Fangzhuo has been the top scorer for three consecutive times, which Pele and Maradona can't do, he is an alternative king."
"Phew, bah, bah, what are you talking about, Dong Fangzhuo is only 29 years old this year, he can participate in at least two World Cups, 2014, 2018, and even he may appear in the 2022 World Cup, with his physical fitness and self-discipline, we have hope, don't jump to conclusions. Of course, this is the best year to win the title and hopefully we will have a little bit more luck. But even if you can't, it's nothing, you don't have to win the championship. ”
"I hope so......"
※※※※
The World Cup fever has temporarily subsided, and the continent has re-emerged, and the Europa League in the second half of the 2013-14 season has started again. This season's La Liga is different, it is no longer the world of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid has also joined in, forming a three-legged stand.
Real Madrid are top of the league on points, followed by Barcelona by two points, while third-placed Atletico Madrid are three points behind Real Madrid and one point behind Barcelona as they form a title contender.
The three teams sang all the way, all the way to the beginning of May and still did not leave any team, everyone is on the road to the championship.
In the Champions League, Barcelona have fallen behind, with only two Madrid teams reaching the last four of the Champions League, and it looks like the two teams will have a chance to meet in the final.
Barcelona wanted to counterattack Real Madrid in the league, but unfortunately Real Madrid did not give it a chance and still firmly maintained its advantage through victory.
In mid-May, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both passed the semi-finals and successfully met in the Champions League final! And for the final, Atletico Madrid also overturned in the gutter and completely fell out of the league championship.
In the final round of the league, Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid away, while Real Madrid visited Sevilla.
This is quite unfair for Real Madrid......
"Atletico Madrid will definitely release the water, Barcelona will definitely win, and Real Madrid will definitely fight Sevilla, Real Madrid will lose a lot."
"Atletico Madrid lost the league, but they could have an advantage in the Champions League."
"Sevilla have also reached the Europa League final, so they don't have to fight hard, right?"
Real Madrid fans are worried and feel that Real Madrid is difficult to ride the tiger.
"Afraid of what?"
"Two titles, Sevilla in the league, win the league and then fight Atletico Madrid in the Champions League! This time it's the real Real Madrid, and if you want to win, you have to win the whole of Europe! ”
On May 17, 2014, the final round of La Liga started at the same time.
Barcelona took the lead early on with Lionel Messi's goal and took a 2-0 lead over Atletico Madrid at half-time, with Atletico Madrid as a substitute......
Real Madrid trailed Sevilla 1-0 in the first half, and it looked like Barcelona were really going to steal the league title.
In the 80th minute of the second half, even Real Madrid fans thought that the tide was gone, and Dong Fangzhuo equalized through a free kick in the 83rd minute, but this was not enough, Real Madrid still need a goal, they need to win Sevilla to regain the first place in the standings.
As a result, in the 89th minute, a miracle happened, Dong Fangzhuo scored twice from a free kick, and Shengsheng dragged Real Madrid back from the line of death, and finally sent Real Madrid to the league championship.
Barcelona failed.
Real Madrid brought the remnants of the league championship to the Luz Stadium in Lisbon, Portugal, and finally Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 4:1 with goals from Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo, Ramos and Marcelo to defend the Champions League title!
In the 2013-14 season, Real Madrid was once again a brilliant success.
Then, it's the quadrennial World Cup.
Dong Fangzhuo was given a week's rest before that, but he chose to fly directly to Brazil, where he could relax on a nearby holiday and then join up with the national team.
The Chinese team in 2014 is not stronger than in 2010, but at least it is much more mature than that team. And the personnel of the national team have changed a lot.
The veteran Li Weifeng is gone, Shao Jiayi and Sun Jihai have been completely reduced to the national team's substitutes, before leaving for Brazil, many people advised the national team not to recruit them into the national team to make room for young players, but Crouchen still tried his best to bring the two of them to Brazil.
The only difference is that the 34-year-old Zheng Zhi is still the captain of the Chinese team......
Veterans don't die, they just fade away......
