Chapter 436: Champions League Second Consecutive Wins (Transitional Chapter)

Although Feng Quan can barely be regarded as a "billionaire" (RMB) today, in the context of rising domestic land prices, even in his hometown of Beixi City, a third- or fourth-tier city, if he wants to open a football school that can meet the "international" standard, Feng Quan's family background is simply not enough.

In Fengquan's future planning, even if he can't achieve the world's largest football school with a scale of 10,000 people integrating elementary school, middle school, and high school like Hengda. However, in its own football school, it should also set up a primary and secondary school, and in terms of the scale of the school, it should reach at least half of the size of Hengda football, that is, at least 5,000 students.

Although there is a big difference in land price and labor between Yangcheng and Beixi, the first phase of investment in Hengda Football School has reached 1.1 billion, and the first phase investment of Fengquan Football School will need at least 3 to 4 billion yuan.

With Fengquan's current fame, although it is possible to raise the required funds by borrowing from banks, or selling shares to other businesses and companies, or even soliciting sponsorships. But in this way, it is difficult for Feng Quan to have an "absolute" voice in football schools.

Therefore, after many years of experience in the "system", the introduction of various "unspoken rules" in the circle knows that only by firmly grasping the "right to speak" in their own hands can the future development of football schools be smoother, so as to truly achieve the goal of cultivating young talents for Chinese football.

Once you can get the support of the "No. 1 Great Elder", then the process of opening your own football school will be relatively smooth, and you will be more abundant in terms of funds. At the very least, you can enjoy great discounts when you borrow money from banks.

Despite the big win over their city rivals at the Bernabeu, the confidence of the Atletico Madrid players reached its peak. But at the same time, they also exert a great deal of physical energy. And the team's striker Diego Costa suffered from gastrointestinal discomfort after arriving in Porto, Portugal.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary injury situations, Diego Simeone is ready to rotate his personnel in different positions in the second round of the Champions League group stage away to Porto on September 2.

Considering that Feng Quan has played in every game of the team as a starter since the second round of La Liga, in order to avoid unnecessary injuries due to constant fatigue, Diego Simeone excluded him from the starting list against Porto along with Diego Costa.

However, Atletico Madrid, without the striker duo of Feng Quan and Diego Costa, was significantly worse overall than they had been three days earlier.

Especially in the first half of the game, Bolt, who had the advantage of being at home, not only firmly occupied the initiative on the field, but also scored first by J. Martínez (Jackson Martínez) with a free kick opportunity in the first six minutes of the game.

Atletico Madrid, without Feng Quan and Alda Turan, not only did they not pose a real threat to Porto's goal, but it was not until 32 minutes that David Villa had the first shot of the game.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois's brave play, I am afraid that Porto would have been able to seal the victory in the first half of the game.

In desperation, Diego Simeone had to send Feng Quan and Diego Costa, the "best in Europe" striker pair since the beginning of the season, in the second half.

Sure enough, even though Atletico Madrid was not at their best in this game, they quickly regained control of the game after Feng Quan and Diego Costa came on. And, in the ninth minute of the second half, it was Raul Garcia who equalized.

At that time, after winning the ball on the left side, Feng Quan, who cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, directly completed a powerful heavy bombardment.

Porto goalkeeper Helton saved Feng Quan's first shot, but Raul Garcia, who was inserted into the box, fired the ball into the top left corner of the net.

In the second minute of the second half, Feng Quan, who had roamed to the right, won a direct free kick for Atletico Madrid near the corner of the penalty area.

Uruguayan centre-back Godin leaped high between two players and headed a free-kick into the bottom right corner of the net.

Ten minutes later, Gabi struck a ball over the top straight into the middle of the pitch after a steal from Ricardo Quaresma at the back.

With his back to the attack, Diego Costa unloaded the ball with his chest near the centre circle and then kicked the ball into the undefended area on the left side of the pitch.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan, who was inserted at high speed, unloaded the ball with his right foot and went directly to the penalty area of the Porto team.

Feng Quan, who came to the vicinity of the penalty area with the ball, first put on a long-range shot, and when Eliaquim Mangala was fooled, he passed the ball to the feet of Diego Costa, who was inserted into the middle of the box.

Diego Costa stopped the ball with his right foot and then pushed it into the bottom left corner of the goal with his left foot.

After taking a two-goal lead, Atletico Madrid immediately switched to the defensive counter-attacking state that they are best at.

Despite the fierce attack of the home team in the final 15 minutes, the tight defense against Atletico Madrid not only failed to pull back the situation, but also when the game was about to enter injury time, the wind once again seized a counter-attack opportunity to extend the lead to three goals.

At that time, goalkeeper Courtois easily confiscated Quaresma's cross and drove the ball directly into the opponent's half.

Jumping high, Diego Costa pressed past 1.90m centre-back Maicon and headed the ball back to Koke near the right-hand halfway.

Koke, who had observed the position of the front court in advance before receiving the ball, sent a through ball directly to the middle of the front court.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Quan, who had been cruising on the left side, seemed to instantly turn into a red and white lightning, and before the goalkeeper Hilton rushed out of the penalty area, he first stabbed the ball diagonally with his right foot near the top of the arc of the penalty area, and then took the lead in sweeping the ball into the unguarded empty goal before Mangala who was quickly chasing back.

In the end, Atletico Madrid, who won the game with a score of 4-1, firmly occupied the top spot of Group G with 6 points after two rounds of the Champions League group stage, and was one step closer to their goal of reaching the knockout round.

Four days later, Atletico Madrid, who had the advantage of being at home, won 4-0 against Celta Vigo, who had only six points in the first seven league rounds, with Feng Quan and Diego Costa starting together.

Although Feng Quan was unable to score in this game due to luck, his two assists helped Diego Costa to score a brace. 8)
